I recently installed Ubuntu on the same hard drive I have windows xp home installed on. Both OS's worked fine for awhile, but then my windows OS stopped working.
Whenever I try to boot windows my screen goes black and my computer seems to quit working. I have tried booting from my windows installation CD, but I get the same problem.
I have researched this problem and I think it is related to the linux installation, not any of my hardware. I found this thread:

This person had the exact same problem I am having, but was able to fix it because he had windows and linux installed on 2 different hard drives.
At this point I really would not mind losing all the data on my hard drives, but I do not know how to wipe them without being able to go into windows. I am not a very computer savvy person, so I would appreciate responses I can follow.
Thanks for taking the time to read my thread, and I would greatly appreciate any help anyone could offer. =)
