Thanks to this suggestion, ubuntu is working on my computer.
Now i'm planning to get Windows XP on my computer.
Unfortunately, it didn't work
i got the same error
Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your comuter.
Make sure any hard disk drives are powered on and properly connected to your computer, and that any disk-related hardware configuration is correct. This many involve running a manufacturer-supplied diagnostic or setup program.
Setup cannot continue. To quit setup, Press f3

You have to install XP first
Then install ubuntu
1. Put in ubuntu live CD
2. Go to terminal and type "sudo gparted", If this does not work type "sudo apt-get install gparted" and let it download/install. and then type "sudo gparted"
3. When installed delete every partition and make make 1 ntfs partition (Dont use all free space, else there is no room for ubuntu..)
4. Unmount the live cd and install windows xp
5. Install ubuntu

The best thing to do (If you want) is to format the whole HDD.
Then install XP
Then install ubuntu

Well, i think you should try a better distro than Linux... Seriously, look into Fedora, OpenSUSE, Gentoo (expert), Slackware (expert).... even Debian!
