you can choose the manual partition option, you will have the xp partition, a large ext3 partition, and a smaller (500-1000 megs) linux-swap partition
the ext3: check the format box, this will erase it and choose a mount point of /
the swap: i think you dont have to do anything to
and xp: just leave alone
then it will be all good
also, i would reccomend against yahoo answers as linux people generally arent on here, sign up for the official ubuntu forums at http://www.ubuntuforums.org

Yes just delete all ext3 partitions but leave the NTFS/FAT partitiions of windows as they are. Make new partitions with mount points / , /home and one for Swap. After that just accept the defaults settings for GRUB and install.
You will have to go through the manual partitioning option.
