That would work, except there's one problem: .exes like that don't work very well under emulation...

Oh well, I'll figure out some way...

try uninstalling Linux, then installing Xp first. Then re-install Linux

why not try running xp within linux on a virtual machine thing,

**** HowTo: Windows (XP) on Ubuntu with VMWare Server***

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=183209

****

just an idea for a workaround letting the VMware do all the work,

linux being fast should handle xp games in a virtual environment hopefully

**
edit
**
well it looks like it dont support heavy 3d game useage but you never know it might do older games,

you could try getting another cheap hard drive to put xp on and just boot from that when you want to play windows platform games

***
another idea might be to try something like partition magic and create a windows partitition with that as duel boot,

Did you burn the CD yourself?
If so, is your CD bootable?

The issue is NOT the partition. I have two partitions right now. An ext3 partition WITH LINUX ALREADY INSTALLED ON IT, and then I have an NFTS partition ALREADY MADE with 110 gigs free space on it, plenty for an installation.

My CD is definitely bootable. I tried to do this before when I had Vista, because I wanted XP. But since I was an idiot at the time, I didn't partition it to NFTS, so it started the XP installation and formatted everything and left the hard drive blank because it couldn't recognize the drive type. I KNOW that the CD is bootable and I KNOW that it works. It even brought up the contents when I popped it in when my computer was on.

I didn't burn the CD. It's a genuine, original Windows XP CD that I've used plenty of times. But it's service pack 1, so I formatted that partition that I had setup for it to NFTS.

Also, VMWare is not supported for my version of Linux (Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon 7.10) because I already tried that.

Like I said, "Me", I have another partition that is ready to put windows upon. My problem, clearly, precisely, is that the Windows XP disk is not booting.

~EDIT~

My Computer type is i386; it's not supported by VMWare. I just checked it out.

meh...I just checked my thread on Ubuntu forums. I'm going to wipe Ubuntu, get XP, then put Ubuntu back on and load up all my data back with disks.

Oh well, I guess it's not possible to have Ubuntu as the native OS and still dual boot XP.
