On my dual boot XP/Ubuntu Thinkpad I would like to upgrade Ubuntu using the installation CD. If I just start from the install icon after booting live from the CD will it upgrade the Ubuntu partition only or will it write over the whole drive destroying the XP installation along the way?

You have to use the Alternate CD to do your upgrade. The upgrade will not affect your xp partition.
