    I think Ubuntu has a step-to-step partitioning procedure to partition your HD in order to install. Just be careful as the default option is to use the entire disk!

    Hello Sailor
    Should I defrag first?And XP will be untouched?

    Please see this thread on how to configure a dual-boot system. This thread assumes that you already have Windows installed, so your installation should be untouched.

    Don't worry about defragging...it won't help in this case.
