Does anyone have XP and Ubuntu on one system. I am interested in a dual boot system, I have already partition my hard drive using Gparted.
I wanted to know if installing Ubuntu is difficult.

| You can use the Ubuntu live cd. No need to install it permanently if you don't want to mess with all that. Just boot it up when you need to=)

Where's the fun in that? 
I tried the Live CD also, before installing. It was way too slow.

Not hard at all. There's some fouling up that can occur with the MBR, but it's not TOO awfully common and not that hard to fix back up.
Just as a tip...it's usually a good idea to do the windows install first and then the Linux install, as windows is greedy and will assume that it's the only OS on the system and hijack the MBR and you'll have to redo the bootloader if you install it after Linux.

You might consider giving this it's own thread...
Do you want to leave the other (Windows?) partition intact, or do you plan on wiping it as well and starting fresh. If it's the latter, when you are performing the Windows install, it should ask you where you want to install it and you can manipulate the partitions from there. If it's the former, you can try some utilities like Partition Magic to do it in place. Try here.

Hey it's very easy to create a dual boot system. Use windows Vista and Ubuntu 9+.
You need atleast two partisions to install that OSs successfully.
