Install Windows (dual-boot) after a default Ubuntu install - Possible?

[Tristan Rhodes]

Greetings,

I have Ubuntu installed on my laptop, using a default install.  My wife wants to use the laptop to 
play a WMV movie file, so I need to install Windows XP on the laptop as well.  I would like to be 
able to dual-boot, without losing any of my Ubuntu stuff.

I tried GnuParted but it wouldn't allow me to resize the existing root partition (so that I could 
create a new FAT32 partition).  I think from the command line it gave an error about file-system not 
passing integrity check.

Is it possible to install Windows XP AND keep my Ubuntu?

Thanks,

Tristan
