1. please check if ur DVD/CD is working. try another bootable disk of win xp /win 7.

2. ask ur ASUS notebook provider.

3. Generally it does not happen. Toload both linux and windows together, you have to load windows first and then linux. delete all partitions and make fresh.

And can i remove this grub and just normally boot windows xp?
Thanks

Do you get any error messages before the blue screen? Do you have a windows xp full installation CD? This problem usually occurs because the xp bootloader is unable to recognize non-windows code in the master boot record. If you have your xp CD, boot it and enter "R" (for recovery?) in setup, select xp from list, enter password, enter FIXMBR, if that doesn't work enter "FIXBOOT".

If you don't have an installation CD, you could try looking for a disk at bootdisk.com.
