Is it possible to share a hard drive between Windows and Ubuntu?

I have two hard drives on my computer. One is C which the computer boots Windows XP from, and the other is drive F which is only used for storage.

I want to install ubuntu on drive F, and still be able to use it for storage. I would also like it be so that I can drag files onto drive F in windows, and be able to see them in Ubuntu. Is this possible, and if so, How?

How do I install linux and get rid of windows xp?

I just got a computer from a friend that had a corrupted version of windows xp. I tried uninstalling it through the command prompts but it says it wont work. I tried installing linux but after the boot screen it comes up with all these error messages. Im not planning on partitioning my hard drives. Does anyone know if you have to uninstall windows to make linux work right?
