How can I install Windows XP on an Ubuntu, Linux OS?

biohazard asked:

It’s me again. I inserted the XP installer cd then restarted the system. On the start-up the screen says, “PRESS ANY KEY TO BOOT FROM CD…”, but that doesn’t work. i repeated it several times but ubuntu doesn’t seem to respond whenever i am pressing a key to boot from cd. ubuntu is just starting the system without booting.
any help?

How to backup files on a computer with a corrupted OS?

Tim asked:

OK, so someone I know has a copy (literally, a copy) of windows XP and now it says that it’s not validated and wont boot into windows. Now, I’m going to install Linux on it (xubuntu) but I want to back everything up first. How can I do this? I’m messing with puppy linux on a live CD but would like to know if there is a better way.

Thanks in advance,
Well, there is another computer that can be used and I will be using my iPod as an external hard drive to back up the files.

How do I install Ubuntu Linux to my PC when I have two Hard Drives and don’t need to partition?

Andrew asked:

I’ve been looking at the Ubuntu Linux site for a while, they tell you how to partition a drive, but not how to set it up for two HD’s with a choice of which to boot on startup.

I know I could have the BIOS always pop up on powerup, but is there an easier way?
