This looks kinda like an off-topic forum, anyways, my question: Can I -without buying Windows XP again- install Windows XP (my current version) into VMWare? I want it so I can test things out like hacks, without worrying about messing up my computer, thanks! :)

Yup, as far as I know, that's completely possible. And a very good idea if you're planning on testing out stuff.
Jump to PostUmm.. you install VMWare, and then... start VMWare, create a virtual machine, and boot the virtual machine off the XP disk. Go through the installation process, and then you'll have your very own Windows-in-Windows machine.
