Yes, if you installed with wubi, I do believe you would have to
reinstall Xubuntu the standard way.<br>

<div>I guess in my case I could not just load the virtual

it. Would I not have to erase Windows completely first
and re-install Xubuntu? As now Xubuntu sort of runs
within a Windows XP host environment, within which I
would want Windows XP to run. I mean, I have no idea
about any of this but somehow it feels like that would
not make sense.</div>

Well, on that computer it will probably be pretty
darn slow, but give it a shot. And no, you wouldn't
have to reinstall Xubuntu, just go to this address:
<a moz-do-not-send="true" rel="nofollow"
class="yiv337951444moz-txt-link-freetext"
target="_blank"
href="http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads">http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads</a>
and click the appropriate link for your computer
(Ubuntu version and whether it is x86 or 64) install
the .deb as normal and you are ready to go.<br>

After launching your other OS

Seamless Mode should appear in

There is even a thing called
"Seamless Mode" which makes it
seem like you have an
integrated Windows + Xubuntu
desktop. So you get a Windows
taskbar as well as you normal
Xubuntu panels, and when you
launch a Windows application
its window appears over the
top of your normal Xubuntu
desktop. It's quite cool!<br>
