I run Windows XP and am trying to dual-boot XP and Ubuntu. I burned the image to a CD and booted from that. Everything went pretty smoothly until I got to the partition screen. I can't go forward until I select a partition to install it on, but there's nothing for me to select. None of the buttons on the bottom are clickable (they're greyed out). How do I continue?

A couple of notes. First, my Windows XP install takes up the entire disk. Second, I'm aware of the ability to install Ubuntu without creating a new partition, but have read that you don't get full performance doing it that way, so I'm opting to create a new partition for Ubuntu.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
