Go ahead and install Windows. It will over write your GRUB but Ubuntu would NOT be removed.
Then use the Super GRUB Disk to recover GRUB.

Since you have installed XP & Ubuntu in separate partitions (duh) when you will reinstall XP then it will overwrite the GRUB & MBR, which means just the entry for Ubuntu will be deleted and not Ubuntu OS itself
Then you can restore Grub using Super Grub Disk.
