A lot of time when you pull the carpet up most of it comes with it. Carpet glues should release and you only need to scrap up the glue residue. If it doesn't then you will need to scrap it all up. There are machines you can rent to do this. They will cost around $80 for 4 hours. Otherwise invest in a good floor scraper for about $30. If you plan to paint or glue anything to the floor in the future, don't use adhesive removers. The concrete is porous and the remover will not just wash away.

What kind of carpet padding for basements?
You don't put padding directly on a concrete floor. You have to frame out the floor, lay plywood sheets over the frame, probably want a vapor barrier as well. Then you can lay any pad and carpet you want. There are certain types of carpet that come with an attached foam padding that are designed to lay over concrete. If you think you want to just glue carpet directly to the concrete floor, check the mfg. warranty first. Most mfgs. will not honor their warranty unless they specifically state that it can be glued to concrete.
