[Bug 1504369] [NEW] Can't install Ubuntu and I lost my previous OS (Windows XP)

[Daniel Rio]

Public bug reported:

All I did was trying to install Ubunto on my netbook Asus eePC 1101HA and after the installation process failed due to some fawlty DVD or HDD (according to the message it showed up on my computer) I restarted my PC, only to realise that I'd lost my previous OS (Windows XP); I've tried several things like runing and trying to install Ubunto with partitions, etc but I can't fix it.
So know I don't have neither Ubunto or Windows. What should I do?
