if they are on seperate drives, just unplug the buntu drive, install XP on
the other one, plug the buntu drive back in, and select it as the primary
boot in the bios, sudo update-grub, and BoB is your uncle... if not, you'll
have to just install XP, that will wipe grub, and you'll need to recover
grub with a live CD (not that big-a-deal)

...OR use some kind of 3rd party boot manager like
http://gag.sourceforge.net/

you can also look online and in the forums, mailing lists, or IRC channels
for regular ubuntu help as this process will be the same for ubuntu and
ubuntustudio.

let us know how it goes
