So I really wanted to retry getting Ubuntu, but this time I want to keep XP on it. I need help actually keeping Windows on there without anything getting fucked up.
I want to use one hard drive. I want to split it up so that I can have one part for Linux, and the rest for Windows.
Here's a good example. This is not my screenshot, I found it on google.

The only thing thats different is that ext3 on there is NTSF or whatever, and extended is something else. I want to split NTSF into 2 peices.
Questions:
See that bar on the right? The small one with the 2 different colors in it? What does that mean?
Exactly how do I correctly split up NTSF? I tried clicking on it and setting the space left thing, but I'm not sure that this is how you do it.
Any other help on partitioning would be great.
