installation within windows xp

In order to install Ubuntu in your win XP you have to put the ubuntu cd in your Pc on with your windows xp running, then the windows of wubi will pop up and you have to put "Install within windows"and wubi will ask you the amount of disk space you want to give to ubuntu , the root password(dont you ever forget of this!!) and the language that you would like to use.
After wubi do some stuff your computer will restart, let the cd inside your pc, when the computer restarts a grub menu will ask you if you want to use Windows or ubuntu, choose Ubuntu.
The first time you run Ubuntu, the instalation will finish, it is an automatic process.
when the instalation is over you will have to put your user ans password (the one you have put before)
In order to do things easy for you I recomend you to uninstall the ubuntu you have install and start from the begining.

Hope this help you, any other question please let us know.

the answer has nearly solved my problem but just one thing after restart should i let my ubuntu dvd inside the dvd drive or should i take it out to complete the installation

you should let it in, I am sorry I thouth that you have a cd, but with a dvd is the same

U don't need to put the cd/dvd inside... Bec while installing Ubuntu
within xp It ejects cd/dvd by itself before restart.. After that dont
put the cd/dvd again.. In the boot log select ubuntu thats all....
