- when booting with XP CD, only the setup page (the blue partitioning formatting and installation page) comes, and unfortunately, there it shows that the XP partition drive usage memory is completely free or there is no usage memory at all (??!!)

Tried using startup with XP installation CD ? Unfortunately the Ubuntu access is cut off then. The boot loader recovery to XP: 1. Set your BIOS to boot from CD or DVD drive 2. Put your Windows XP installation disc into your CD or DVD drive 3. Boot up your computer and start from CD 4. With your Windows CD. When asked, choose ?repair? and launch fixmbr. This command replaces GRUB with Windows bootloader. 5.. Reboot again and you have done.
