I have ubuntu 13.04 running on my hdd, I have shrank its partitions and made the free space NTFS but windows xp disc says there isnt a valid partition when running it with WINE. So I tried booting from the windows dvd but it keeps blue screening after about a minute of load files. What is the problem and how can i make xp install and overwrite ubuntu if I cant boot from the disc properly?
