If you need a quick fix to get windows xp back, you can always boot from any xp cd, go to the recovery console and type fixboot and fixmbr. Mind you, this will get rid of GRUB from the master boot record. It will not affect the installed Ubuntu OS. You can later reinstall GRUB and experiment more. In the future, you might want to create a backup first.
