I Killed Windows

Oops.

Currently, it's nearly 4 am and I've spent the last 6 hours attempting to restore my PC to something close to working order and it's not going well. Apperently it's a bad idea to go ahead and say fuck it and attempt setting up a dual-boot XP/Xubuntu setup without some sort of magical backup that works 100% of the time. Now I'll confuse you all, I started by installing Xubuntu, repartitioning (this is evil) my drive to allow Xubuntu room to breathe freely and everything went fine, at first. I get 94% through the installation process and it just stalls, what the fuck? Well ok, fine maybe it just doesnt like me so I kill it and attempt to go back into Windows.....Windows doesnt load. Fuck. Ok....Try Xubuntu again just to see if the first go was a fluke...same issue, fuck me with a pixie stick. Again, try XP...no go....so I break out my trust Restore CD's thinking ok, I just lost alot of data...but at least I'll have windows up and running in an hour, Everything goes smoothly during the restore....untill it's time to reboot I reboot....Windows...does not come up...nistead im greeted with a black screen blinking these menacinf words at me "Boot from CD/DVD:" .....so I check my BIOS settings just to make sure the restore process didnt change my boot options, it did, fucking thing. So I change the primary boot device back to the hard drive expecting the issue to be fixed, it's not. Same problem. And everyone wonders why I dont wanna do anything involving computers for work, I fucking hate software.

*Update*

Got Xubuntu Installed Finally!, and Windows is up and semi-running also...lost alot of data, damnit but the thing thats got me most worried is getting the damn wifi drivers working right....they're always a bitch.
