Delete all of your temp files. Remove the page file and do a defrag. After that install and configure Grub. You can then install Umbuntu or your choice in the empty logical partition and boot both systems without issues. I did this on XP pro and a laptop with no problems, but make sure you follow the instructions to a tee. What I found out afterwords was that I used Linux much less than Windows XP, so on my new laptop I just didn't bother. The next Linux install I do will be on an older tower when I decide to retire it. I want to try to turn it into a media server for my home network.

Just FYI, Chess Griffin of Linux Reality did a podcast on doing a music server: Episode 62 - Home Servers Part 8: Music Servers.
