Windows XP + ubuntu Linux

(This will only work with the retail version of XP)
:Install XP:
Make two partitions, one for windows XP, and one for file transfer, leave space for Linux.

(example: 160GB HDD: 100GB Windows XP [NTFS], 10GB [FAT32], 50GB Linux [EXT3])
For the FAT32 partition use partition magic.

Once XP is installed we can go on to the Linux install.

Once you get to the partition editer select manualy edit partition table.
Make a EXT3 partition to install ubuntu on and set as active.
When it asks if it wants to install the GRUB boot loader select yes.
