Well, my first instinct would be to boot with an Ubuntu disk, back up all of your data, then just install Ubuntu over everything else and forget about WinXP altogether. I'm not trying to sound like a jerk, or an MS hater, or a linux fanboy. The truth is, dual booting doesn't accomplish all that much unless you have mission critical apps on the Windows side. Or games, which are mission critical to some.
Just my $0.02 worth.
