You need to   provide more information on your configuration?
1. Is the boot loader the windows ntldr or is the system using grub?
2. What is the partition layout? Is the XP on the first partitoin or which? With 
Fedora, you should have a boot and a root partition. 

I just help a student go in the other direction. He had installed linux on his 
system, but has moved to using more linux, so wanted to reduce the size of 
windows and increase the size of linux. Used a Live CD with gparted to 
resize the partitions. I like the parted majgic CD. 

If the boot process is grub, you will need to reinstall a XP MBR of be forced 
to leave the boot partition, and change the default to Windows.

So, more info is needed.
