Dual boot would have definitely been your best option.

I don't see why you don't try to "acquire" another copy of XP and back up all your data, reformat the drive, create two primary active partitions and install one of each and do the dual boot thing. It's worth it if you find yourself needing each OS.

As far as getting a copy of XP, you can get creative.
I'd recommend finding your actual copy though. It'd be easier.
