I own a PM G5 dual 2.0 (10.4.2) and a Windoze XP box. I also own a 160 Gb external firewire hard drive. I currently have the drive formatted for my mac to do backups. Is there a way to partition the drive and format half of it for doing backups for my MAC and the other for my XP box?

I believe that a mac will read a Windows-formatted drive, but not the other way around. I don't think you can format two partitions for two different OS', but I could be wrong.
