You will just need to delete the partition Xp sits in.

You will want to basically boot the live CD and run gparted and delete the partition windows Xp sits on and then merge the new available space into your existing partitions.

You will want to go install/start ubuntu. That opens the live enviroment. Its basically running ubuntu off your cd and RAM. From there you want to run gparted and edit your patitions.
