Ed, My experience is this. I set up the exact situation a while back. The thing you need to watch out for is that XP wants to "own" all the drives on your system. So you need to do one of two things. Either load XP first and note which drive you want as you XP system drive, then load linux. Or disconnect the linux drive when you install XP. I am not sure about Ubuntu, but I believe the install will as which drive you want to use and format that one for you. (I used Fedora..Now I have an Apple and run OS X and use remote desktop to the XP box for SDR.) As far as dual boot goes, someone else will have to help you on that as I did not use that feature in either system. I simple set my bios to prompt for which drive I wanted to boot.
