This should be no problem as long as you take the installer defaults, or are at least careful not to let Anaconda use the Windows partition. A GRUB menu entry should automatically be created to allow you to boot the Windows partition. I usually change the label from the default, which is something like "Other", to "XP" or "Windows" and edit /boot/grub/grub.conf after firstboot to comment "hiddenmenu" and perhaps increase the default "timeout".
