Linux Questions?

hey, i got a CD from a friend of Linux “Live Cd” (Ubuntu) and I haven’t played with it on my computer. But my question is that if i like it, I have two HD’s on my compy, a Stock XP 80GB system disk that came with it, then a Western Digital that i bought that doesn’t have an OS. could i partition off like maybe 50GB of the WD drive, and install Linux on it. Then just change the BIOS when i turn the compy on, depending on which OS i want to use?
I am not planning Ubuntu to install it, i am using it to play with it. I will download the actual version to install it

Windows XP and Ubuntu Sharing Capabilities?

I def want to try out Ubuntu while I also have XP installed for games and etc. I just have one question! Because I don’t want to back up things like my music and videos and etc.. and I do recall a live linux CD called Knoppix being able to read my Windows XP data..
Will Ubuntu be able to do the same exact thing? Can I use my music folders from XP on Ubuntu so I don’t have to back things up and waste HD space for duplicates?

Thanks in advance,
