1 for 2 with ubuntu

Ok, so Ubuntu works on my laptop Dell. Great. Now, I try installing it on my shiny blue desktop PC. It kept showing IDE errors but it still loaded from the CD and I was able to install it. Maybe it didn't like the motherboard, maybe it didn't like my 3 internal hard drives and 1 external hard drive. I don't really know becuase I don't know too much about linux or ubuntu.

The end result was that I got a dead stop when I rebooted the machine. Grub loaded but then it showed "Error 22". Whatever that means is irrelevant... I am now doing a repair install of Windows XP Home to see if it will work again... Good thing I have backups...
