dont worry this forum will always help you, it has helped me too always.

so coming back to ur question, heres link
http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_windows_xp_and_linux_xp_installed_first.htm

and u can always give the keywords in google and u r sure to get links to
the necessary webpages.

i am not an expert but i wen i did try the dual boot, i always installed the
windows first, made some extra partition in the hard disk and assigned this
extra space for the ubuntu. i guess this wud be safer bet

enjoy ur time with ubuntu
