i can explain how to do this in theory, but i've never done it myself.
first of all, backup everything important on your mandrake partition. also, make a mandrake boot disk so you can always get back in if lilo gets messed up.
next you want to reformat the space for xp carefully without formatting the mandrake partition. install xp to this newly formatted space.
chances are xp will overwrite the lilo boot. so now is when the mandrake boot disk comes in handy. boot to mandrake with the boot disk and you've gotta reinstall lilo somehow overwriting the windows boot, and then add windows as an option in lilo.
that's a general outline of what i would do. if you need certain parts in more detail just ask.
