My computer will not boot up windows xp. I was having problems with a few days before. It was turning off randomly. I tried to reinstall windows and the problem did not stop. Now i cant load up windows anymore. All i get is the logo that appears when i boot my computer up the the screen goes black. I have tried a live cd of linux and it works fine. What do I do to fix this.
I dont have an xp cd but a restore cd

I am trying to install Linux Ubuntu 7.10 in to a spare partition (drive d) in my laptop. There if 30GB free in dat partition and nothing else saved. However during Ubuntu installation, the Partition part, it would let select the drive and only allows me to use the entire hard drive, I’m not sure wat to do in manual partition manager either. (Live CD) Can anyone tell me a way of installing Ubuntu onto the spare partition without affecting the other partition at all.
The spare partition is ntfs format.
I trying to dual boot with XP Home Edition SP2.
