Add Windows partition to existing Ubuntu Partition

[Michael White]

Hello again,

OK so I absolutely love Ubuntu (I was a long time Windows user) but I really need Windows also. I tried to use WINE but it sucks. So with that said, all I want to do is add a Windows partition to my system without formating the HDD again. If I have to I will but I rather not.

Here's the deal. I do not have a CD with Windows on it, however I have my laptop that does and it has the WIN32 Installer on it. I was wondering if I could use that. I still have the serial number from the version that was on this PC before so that's not a problem.

So what I am asking is can I use the WIN32 installer file from my laptop to install Windows XP on this computer? If so can I do it without messing up this OS which is using the full HDD?

Anyone who could help would be appreciated.
