Tom proposed the following answer:
Weird. Perhaps Xp is on a 2nd physical drive? Anyway, i'm glad to hear you
haven't lost data. Can you boot up from the Ubuntu Cd? You should get to a
menu that has the option "Try Ubuntu without changing anything on this machine"
(something like that), if you don't get to that option this guide might help
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromCD
Choosing the "Try Ubuntu ..." option should get you to a working desktop which
we call a "LiveCd session", if it woks. Firefox on the top taskbar should let
you surf right back into here.
Also on the top taskbar please go to
Applications - Accessories - Terminal
into the terminal/command window/console type
sudo fdisk -l
note that to check what commands do you can type " -h" or " --help"
after them, so for example try
sudo -h
fdisk -h
to get quick help guides on how to use those commands.
Please let us know the results so we can see what's going on
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
