Step 1:Check for sufficient disk space avilable for Windows
Xp Installation (use command df,fdisk etc.)
Step 2:Make a seprate Partition (use fdisk)
Step 3:Note the active partition no(number of the partition
where your Ubuntu already installed) it will need after
installation of the XP operating system
Step 4: reboot the system
Step 5: insert the Installtion CD in the CDROM. Install the
xp on the newly created partition in (Step 2).
Step 6: your system will only start in XP after installation
at this stage.
Step 7: Make changes in the boot.ini file (XP). Insert the
full path of the Ubantu Kernel of your system(noted in step

the MBR.
Step 8:reboot the system
