So I’m a bit confused as to how Xen is actually installed. I have a machine with a partitioned drive, one partition for Windows XP and one for Mandrake Linux 9.2. So is Xen installed on top of Linux or do I have to create a third partition? I would prefer to do it on top of the existing linux partition if possible. Some initial guidance would be helpful.

You can use your existing Mandrake Linux partition to start Domain0.
But if you want to create new domains, you have to use a third
partition with root file system. Otherwise, with multiple domains
sharing the same root partition, data may be corrupted.
