Installing WIndows With Ubuntu (dual boot)

[Hyperkill]

I'd like some information on how to install Windows XP while still having my Ubuntu in tact. I've been using Linux for about a year now but I just want to take the proper precautions so I don't lose Ubuntu. I'd like info on partitioning and installing Windows.

first, back up your data. second, see the search bar at the upper right of the page? there are probably hundreds of threads on the same subject. many times you'll find answers much more quickly if you'll use the search bar.
