Howdy. Please post in plain text rather than HTML (and below rather than above the text you're responding to) if you can help it. I'm not intimately familiar with XOSL, but the bootloader should allow you to configure the active partition. You should be also be able to configure the bootloader to determine which drive is seen as "first." Your system BIOS may allow you to switch which drive is seen as "first" as well. So you don't have to run fdisk beforehand unless it's necessary to boot into Windows to install whichever bootloader you decide to use.
