[opensuse] kubuntu question

I know a lot of kubuntu questions appear here. I have
submitted my subscription to their list, but so far have not
heard anything back. So I pose the question here:

I got some Kubuntu discs a little while ago, and I would like to
try them on my XP computer, which presently has a separate HD
with Suse 10.0 on it. (I have another computer dedicated at the
moment to Suse 9.3.) I will blow off Suse 10.0 and install Kubuntu,
but I have questions:

First, all the Kubuntu discs have the same stuff on the label--
Version 6.06 LTS, but no sequence number. How do I find
disc 1, etc.? (All the disks seem to have a readme file which
in each case says "disknum 1".)

Is this safe to do with whatever the Kubuntu installer does?
I definitely do not want to lose my XP disc and partition. I
have some important information on there, as well as some music
from before they shut Napster down. (Stuff that's NOT available
on media that's presently in print or for sale anywhere.)
