You must install each operating system on a separate partition. If you install Ubuntu on the same partition (drive) as Windows, it will overwrite it completely - Linux uses a completely different file system natively.
Depending on which version of Windows you have (except Vista), you can dual-boot. But remember, you can only run one OS at a time on one PC.

As a server? That depends on the type of server.
Yes, you can have XP and Ubuntu as Dual Boot.
Yes, it does give you drive or partition options, here's a good video tutorial:

deploy abode windows first, then Ubuntu. maximum Linux distros will partition your tension and create a grub/lilo boot loader for you from which you additionally could make your OS determination. in case you install Ubuntu first and then abode windows , abode windows will recreate your boot sector and you heavily isn't waiting to locate your Linux setting up without first working some instructions out of your CD.

My thoughts are---Server----Ain't that its own operating system? Sure it is- I got on. You might be hosting but to be a server, XP-Linxus--- You never need more that Windows on a PC, Linxus is a waste of time.
