Hello I am new to all of this infact this is my first ever post on a forum of any sort.
I recently had my hardrive crash on my computer and a friend said he could "take care of that for me." So I let him have my slush box for a few days and I got it back. The only issue is it has Ubuntu or something installed on it and I have no F@@@ idea what I am doing. I would like to install windows XP home on it I have the disk I have the key but when I put the cd in and change all my bios settings to boot from CD it doesn't happen you can hear it spinning but no "install from Disk" or anything that anyone says is supposed to happen. I have since disintegrated the relationship with the friend who did this as he has moved. I have no other "techi" friends and I am extremely frustrated. I have a home built computer I built it in high school. and one more thing I don't have a floppy drive. So here goes.
A780G M2+ SE is my motherboard with the ATI hd3200 graphics and 2gb of ram. I have the manual here...
please help
