Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Free up some space on your HDD, stick the CD in and follow the instructions. The installer will do everything you need it to do including sorting Grub. Why Xubuntu btw? Are you short of resource?
I suspect from your post that you have little or no experience in dual-booting windows/windows or windows and any other OS. You need to read a little about partitioning and formatting and in addition to backup suggested by pixellany, I would recommend you run Disk Defragmenter if you have been using XP for any length of time.
There is a lot of documentation for ubuntu on-line which I expect would help you with you xubuntu.
