Unless something has changed with XP, which I wouldn't know as I've never used 
anything newer than 98, this is not quite correct. Windows only needs to 
believe that it is on the primary master.
I still have 98 on a primary slave drive (it's in a caddy and not been in the 
machine in months as since Mandrake 8.2 I have been Windows free) 
Windows does need to be installed as Primary Master, you can then change the 
jumpers and move it to slave and Grub (probably Lilo as well but again I 
don't know as I am a Grub afficionado) can take care of swapping IDE channels 
to make Windows believe it is on Primary Master when it is in fact somewhere 
else. see info Grub for full details if you are interested
