You might want to include the information about your hard disks mainly. Ive found that getting IDE and a SATA combo to work with Ubuntu to be a pain in the rear. Other than that the install should be pretty much straight forward. Are you sure you lost Windows? Might want to check fdisk -l to see if your partitions are still there I guess

I really do not follow what you are saying, but if you get a "tick" its time to URGENTLY back up your data before your head crashes

You can reinstall XP with np I recall and then just reinstall GRUB only but I had a hard time doing that since I use 2 HDD . So you might want to check with others.

When u'll reinstall XP, it'll overwrite the grub bootloader with its own. So reinstall XP, then boot using your linux cd in rescue mode. Do a chroot to your installation and run grub-install to reinstall grub.
