Use Gparted. It is the easiest way to create a partition (create ext3 for a ubuntu file system)

The installation CD can create a partition for you, or you can manually create one during the setup.

prunejuice, are you saying I can create a partition with the CD, install Ununtu and still have my WinXP OS.

Yes. This all happens during the installation, if you choose it.

But for the sake of your data, and your own sanity, always make a system backup before you undertake any major operation such as this.
