If so, then the hard drive already was close to the end of life before
you installed Lubuntu. It would have failed without installing
Lubuntu, too.

Btw. a complete Windows XP backup could only be restored, if the same
hardware is used. If you need to replace a hard disk by another one
(usually you don't get the same hard disk you bought years ago), a
restored Windows XP won't run anymore.
