problem of hard disk partition

[Cecylia]

my problem here it is:
I made a partition on the hard drive to install Ubuntu next to Windows XP, here is how I proceeded (with the live CD)

1.21 GB as swap
11.18 Go for UBUNTU
61.06 for home (but I could not because he did not want me to score a 5 th)

result: when I work on UNIX (yet) it works very well against by windows has become slow is frequently encountered problems.
I do not know if I made a mistake in this partition
if anyone can help me it will be very nice
knowing that what I have on the hard disk:

PQSERVICE 2.93Go FAT32 healthy (EISA configuration)
ACER (C 72.67 GB FAT32 healthy (system)
1.21 GB healthy (score unknown)
Go healthy 11.18 (score unknown)
61.06 GB unallocated

The problem is apparently related to Windows

You still have enough free space on the Windows partition?
