What my problem is, is that I want to install windows xp on my laptop where ubuntu is installed on, I cannot run the disc because it is an .exe and you can't run that on ubuntu. I tried several things and searched for like an hour on the internet, I hope someone knows how to help me.

Sorry for my bad english, I am dutch.

[edit] The answer wich some of you linked is not an answer to my question because I have a black screen after I try to boot with the disc

You probably need to boot from the disc, so the disc with XP on would need to be in the disc drive when you start up your laptop, and then you should get on-screen instructions to install XP.

If this is causing a black screen that you mentioned in your comment, this is unlikely to be due to Ubuntu and more likely to do with the disc being corrupted somehow (or your disc drive not working properly). If you believe the disc drive is acting up, you can try cleaning the laser lens. If its the XP disc itself, there isn't much that can be done to save it unfortunately, as far as I know.
