Can I essentially:

-re-attach the debian drives (leaving the XP drive attached, at the end
of the drive order)

That should all be fine, as long as XP doesn't get upset about the changed order of the disks.


-add some information to LILO (to point to the newly installed XP
system)

See the bottom of the default /etc/lilo.conf, it has an example of booting another OS. Basically you want something like:


other=/dev/hdb1
  label="Win XP"

Everything else in there should be fine as-is. Then run lilo.


Cheers
