Default install winxp on a linux machine that has already another winxp version installed

Hello all!
I have a dual-boot machine, with WINXP English version and Suse Linux 10 on it.
Because I have a project, I need to install also WINXP Greek version. I have free unpartioned space on my hard disk.
My question is, if I install WINXP Greek version the normal way, will the Linux bootloader recognize it? If not, can anyone advice me on what steps must I take so that I have WINXP English version, WINXP Greek version and Linux in the grub bootloader?
And, when I put the WINXP Greek version CD inside, will it find the free space (that is will it recognize the space that Linux in installed on)?

I have never tried this. As a Linux and Mac user I am utterly disgusted, but alas, from what I remember of dual with winxp you need to install both versions of windows first, then do linux last. The reason is Grub is much more flexable and you can add in the windows parts fairly easy. I can't remember the syntax off the top of my head, but Gentoo shows howt to do it. Here is a link:
