Dual Boot with XP

Hey guys,
 
I just ordered a copy of Ark and I am really excited!  I have a question
though if you have a second.  I have a 200GB hard drive that I split
into four 50GB partitions (or there abouts).  I have formated 3 of them
with NTFS for use with Windows XP and have XP installed on the first
partition.  I did not format the 2nd partition, and the 3rd and 4th are
the other two NTFS partition for using with XP.  Will I be able to
install Ark on to that 2nd partition and have a dual boot system?
 
I already did a backup of all my important data, but I would rather not
have to restore everything if I could just do it right the first time.
I am familiar with Linux, but am by no means an expert or even a power
user.  But that's why I chose Ark, because it looks like the learning
curve won't be too bad.  Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
