Yes, you can but I have a suspicion you may not be able to boot anything, though I hope not.

Download a Windows 98 SE boot disk form Windows 98 SE. Create the diskette and boot it. Select option 1 to load CD support. When it gets to the command prompt, put your XP CD in the CD drive then enter d:\i386\winnt. That should start the standard XP install.

When you get to the part where you chose where to install, I would delete the existing partition, create a new one then format as NTFS and install.
