Use VIRTUALBOX and install no dual boot needed.

Install VIRTUALBOX from synaptic or apt-get and then add users to vboxuser group and reboot.  Then open virtualbox and install a new windowsxp session on the virtualbox.  This is much quicker and better than a dual boot system.  If you have a descent cpu then clicking on vbox and oppening up a windowsxp window inside of Ubuntu and virtualbox is quick and simple.http://www.virtualbox.org/
