I was waiting for Karmic to come out before I bothered dual-booting, so since I just upgraded and have everything working fine now in 9.10 I want to get Windows XP installed. I'm just not sure the easiest way to dual boot windows with ubuntu installed first.

Windows don't like being 2nd,you'll probably have to run it in a VM,If you want to leave Ubuntu first.Otherwise,you will have to install windows first,then Ubuntu.
