I had the same problem with my nephew's PC. Ubuntu is just plain silly
destroying XP like that. That crappy XP couldn't even be recovered, I
had to reinstall it after trying for about an hour to recover using the
XP cd. I know for a fact that Mandriva works fine, when you do an
installation like that. So the Ubuntu guys are messing up somewhere,
SuSE 6.4 worked fine on my W98 PC...
