Adding another OS to a hardive

Alright, in this case I would recommend looking up the Ubuntu wiki for something called dual-booting, its the process that allows you to have two Operating Systems in one computer. There's no better source than the ubuntu wiki to help you out on this topic.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot

I changed my mind and still need help. How do I uninstall the ubuntu OS, I want to uninstall ubuntu and try reinstalling Windows XP, but in case Windows doesn't work I want to have a copy of Ubuntu. So which CD do i get, the one on ubuntu.com??? And then how do I install ubuntu again, do i just need the CD of ubuntu and follow the instructions??
Please someone help!!

Thanks to Vikram for his opinion and advice...thanks!!!!

Alright so here's what I'll tell you: don't use XP its really crappy. My first
time with Ubuntu was bad because I didn't know what to do, but don't loose
hope, it will come to eventually, Ubuntu is working very hard to make it
available to people and as easy as possible. On ubuntu.com get the desktop
edition, it should say something like Ubuntu desktop (32-bit). Download that,
burn it to a disk, put in the disk and then restart. Check out this video [1],
youtube is always a great help :) If you still have problems, feel free to
email me. If this solves your problem mark it solved also :)

Sorry for not focusing on your orinigal questions, that problem is with the
CD, you might have to get a new CD, Ubuntu doesn't have anything to do with XP
not starting the setup. If the installation disk was working fine, you should
get a screen saying if you want to install XP, then it takes you to remove all
your partitions, format the new free space, and install XP on your machine.

Again I apologize for not being clear enough: You can't install from a corrupt
CD, you need a new CD to be able to complete the setup successfully. The setup
says:

" The File pci.sys is corrupted, press anykey to continue" and then it says
"Setup failed press any key to restart computer"

because the XP install CD isn't working
