I managed to install Ubuntu into my HP Pavilion DV6604nr (AMD 64-Bit AthlonX2) last night. But I'm still trying to figure out how to dual boot between Ubuntu and my new Windows XP OS. Pics below.
Have you figured this out yet? if not, there's a lot of tutorials about this.
Anyway, if you have ubuntu installed before xp, then you have to partition the drive to have ntfs partitions. I've never dual booted with ubuntu installed first but i have done it with xp installed before ubuntu.
Ubuntu has a partition editor built in. It can be just partition editor or gparted depending on the version of ubuntu. just try and install xp and I think grub is gonna recognize that you have another OS installed to your MBR.
