Hi arjun, some bady told you right; install XP first (it wants to be the only OS on disk and will do everything in its power to delete, destroy or hide any other OS it finds).

Once XP is installed and working install ubuntu and in STEP 4 choose the option to "Install them side by side" as shown in this image.
