Dual boot. XP & U7.1

[The Wassermans]

I have downloaded Ubuntu 7.1 (Desktop).  I burned it to a CD.

I want to install it on a PC running Win XP.  The Xp installation was partitioned 50/50

Problems:
1.  The 7.1 CD does not boot.
2. I don't know how to install a dual boot.  Are there some easy instructions somewhere?
3.Should I use FAT32 or NFTS?

Anyone able to point me in the right direction please.
