XP Clean Install + Firewalls

Couldn't find the answer to this in the forums....
 
I know Windows has its own firewall it uses... I also use McAfee's Firewall....
 
After I perform a clean install of XP, I should 1st enable the Windows Firewall for Auto-updates, etc..
 
Then when should I activate my Mcafee Personal Firewall Plus ???  I believe you cannot have two firewalls running at once, correct?  If this is so, should I deactivate the Windows Firewall, and run straight off the McAfee Firewall?

    Yes, activate Windows until you install McAfee, then deactivate Windows.
