OK, I'm running Windows XP Pro, and I want to partition space to install and run Ubuntu. I've tried several different ways in the installation menu of Ubuntu and none of them worked.

Has anyone else had this problem? And if so, what is the correct way to partition space to install Ubuntu on a hard drive that already has XP Pro?

It's been driving me nuts (go figure with XP) So any help would be MUCH appreciated!

Thanks!
