You won't be able to install it over XP since it is not upgradeable to a server-class OS. You could do a dual boot if you want to keep XP. The easiest way is to do a quick format of the hard drive prior to installing the server 2008.

Its got the exact same install procedure as Windows Vista, except there are a few extra questions about licencing etc....
If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.

Just be aware that Server 2008 is even more stringent than other Windows releases on the signed-driver issue.
@humbll - he already said he knew he couldn't install as "upgrade", so why even make the point??
As to "quick" way - no. An install is an install. I imagine install times have improved as they did with Vista then Win7, but still an install
