Look for one from ETH0 with all the hotfixes integrated. I believe the latest is from September and it's called e-xpc2sp2k7 for corporate, e-xpr2sp2k7 for retail and e-xpo2sp2k7 for OEM.

I can't find it on pirate bay, but there's a version of windows xp corporate with an integrated serial (so no need to jot it down/loose it) called windows xp performance edition, it's about 250mb in size.
I'd like to add that I use it, and my only problem with it is it won't render preview images on my video files.
And that I originally found it on pirate bay. My mind feels fucked with pencils.

During the text-mode XP setup it will allow you to delete your existing partition(s) and create a new one for the install. Just make sure you boot to the CD instead of invoking setup from within Windows.

ubuntu should already have the option of burning an image
right click the file, it should be an option to "Write Image to Disc" or something like that

open a console in ubuntu and type
sudo apt-get install k3b
it will easily burn an image for you.
and for looking for a good xp torrent, try student versions of xp
http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3904017/Windows_XP_Professional_SP2_Student_June_2007_(No_Activation)
would be a good one, it will take windows updates directly from microsoft, as the key is supposed to have many different installs.
peace

rar files are like zip files. u need to find a program for linux that un-rar's. if u can't find anything for linux, then install wine and 7-zip, it will un-rar your install disk. after u unrar it, it will only be one big file.

you have .rar files.
sudo apt-get install unrar
then you will be able to right click one and 'extract here'. then you can right click the .iso and select 'write to disc'.
easy.
