You may want to try a google search for "how do I dual boot windows xp and ubuntu"

Seriously, there are many tutorials on this written with the new linux user in mind. You have xp installed first, so that's a great first step... But you may want to either search here or google.

If you have specific questions ... Feel free to ask, and one of us on here will take a break from inventing the wheel again to answer your question :laughing:

The process is very simple and as Mike said a simple google search will go along way. I suggest heading over to NeoSmart Technologies (the creators of probably the best program to aid dual booting: easyBCD) and following this guide for the installation of Ubuntu:

I second the guide Mak posted. I've used it for Vista as well, and its a breeze.
