How about this:
80 Gig drive: 30 gigs for Win XP + programs, balance for data (FAT32)
20 Gig drive: linux
Suggest linux partitions should include ~50 megs for /boot; ~2 gigs for /; ~5 gigs for /usr (if you want to install just about every program there is); 2x memory size for swap, and balance for /home (your files). Linux will also be able to read/write your data on the WinXP drive. Check the HOWTO's, there are lots of other ways to do this.
With a setup something like this you can reload and reformat either operating system without losing all your data.
