Dual Booting

I got stuck up with installing ubuntu in my machine.

What was my problem

My machine has Microsoft Windows XP installed in it. And i just want to make it a dual boot machine with Ubuntu and XP.I had four partition and no un allocated space.I tried booting with the install CD of Ubuntu. It showed error while choosing the partition.

How did i resolved
I got into WinXP and through diskmanager, i freed up 10GB space in my Hard Disk. The free space will be highlighted with a bright green color.
Now i tried rebooting the machine with install CD. Now using the partition manager, i created a 8.5GB partition. and a 1GB partition as swap area.

By doing this everything went fine.
