I personally use Virtualbox.  In this way if (when) the XP machine 
becomes unstable I can reset to a "snapshot" of the system.  I don't use 
it often but there are still somethings I need the XP system for in work.

If you are comfortable with command line then simply type:
   
    sudo apt-get install virtualbox

which should fetch what you need from the repos.  The wizard for 
creating new machines is fairly straight forward.  Go to this link:

    
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/create-and-manage-virtual-machines-using-virtualbox.html

and scroll down to "Create a Virtual Machine".  This will give you a 
good start on how to create the XP machine.
