Hey Phillip
I've been dual booting for years pre-windows. Right now I have a install
of Ubuntu/Win 98/XP
I have done it using 1 drive and partitioning them out and using
separate drives for each.
The easier way is using a drive for each install of course it's a little
more expensive but the least likely to give you problems.
But either way first as Russ said install XP FIRST!!
Make 2 partitions format the C: partition and install XP their. The
second leave un-formatted and let Ubuntu deal with it. Ubuntu these days
has no problems living nicely next to XP.
Have Fun!

Greets!
I am going to install win xp and ubuntu studio on a dual boot
machine but am not sure if I am correct in thinking I should install
windows first and set aside a partition for the linux. If so, when I
install the linux, will it re-format the partition I've set aside?
I don't recall off hand if xp formats the whole drive to NT or just
the windows partion.
I'm pretty sure I've seen this covered before but since the list
changed around, I can't locate the archives.
Help with both of these problems would be greatly appreciated!
