Installing XP on Ubuntu

[dheeraj bansal]

Hi,

Thanks a ton guys for all the help, my ultimate objective is to
connect a windows XP machine with a Ubuntu machine using cross cable
to share data between the two, and for this I was in the notion that
it is possible only if I have windows XP on both. So may be u can help
connecting cross cable in the current setup or help me in installing
XP on ubuntu box and then I will be able to connect the two. And I can
partition the harddisk and do geeky stuff with my machine, so please
everyone go ahead with all the possible solutions. Any help will be
highly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,
Dheeraj Bansal
