Cancel XP setup!!!!!!HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

Hi all!!! I am not very computer literate so pls bear with me..I had some problems with my win xp, eg vfiruses, etc.a friend suggested reinstalling xp home edition sp2.the problem is, half way through the install process a blue screen comes up with errors and doesnt go any further..tried starting the pc again, but goes back to setup and same thing, cant boot into safe mode,etc..I just wanna cancel the setup and go back to the original os.HOW CAN I DO THIS…also worth noting is that i am living in spain, so the xp i got is in spanish, so i am not able to fully understand the errors..I searched on google and some of the answers were to use a linux live cd and get rid of setup but none of the answers said how this should be done….Any help would be greatly appreciated…THANKS

I have tried downloading different versions of linux and creating live CD’s but i cant get it to work. Is there a site that will give me instuctions on how to install linux and a download that will work for me. I would like one that has a GUI. Thankyou.

Questions on installing Linux/Ubuntu on computer that has Win xp already.?

I would like to give this a try, I kind of like Ubuntu after using the live cd.

Whats the best way to do this…I want to keep XP and Ubuntu/Linux on the same machine.

Here’s what I have
2 hard drives
1 30gb with XP on it
1 150gb just with file storage on it

How do I do this, just start up the ‘install’ icon from the live CD? Do I need to do anything special? Should I put linux on the 150gb drive that has no OS on it currently?

How do I get the computer to let me choose Linux or XP upon start up? Can this even be done?

Thanks in advance for your help, and feel free to post links to help files on this if you have them!
