Yes. I would leave some free space on your drive, or use a program and free up some space. Boot from the first Mandrake CD and it practically does everything for you. Have fun!

Give each a choice of pistols, have them stand back to back, walk 10 paces, turn and fire! :D

Oh come on! This is about as easy as getting Enron to give back money, hehe!

Actually the key part (aside from have free diskspace) is to place LILO on a FLOPPY disk and not the friggen hard drive. That way if you want to remove Mandrake you have nothing to do but reformat the floppy and use Disk Manager (Computer Management) in XP to remove the Linux partitions from your hard drive.
