(basically, on 2000 and XPoop - should be the same - though XPoop Pro

Delete the partition where I: is located. (Obviously, backup your data
before doing this.)
Once you have some free space, shutdown windows and start the install

and ubuntu's swap. The installer will likely do this automatically for
you when it sees the free space on your drive.
