Yesterday i installed Windows XP pro SP2 in a new hard disk with a new SATA and POWER cable.

After installation i have worked
When i worked my system got freeze and my mouse pointer moved very slowly.
I finished my work and shut down my system.

then today morning i switched on my system
i got the error message "A disk Read error" press "CTRL+ALT+DEL" to restart.

then once again i tried to do fresh install windows XP ..

during setup it had copied all the files and restarted to install xp but when my system restarted its shows the windows XP loading page then an blue screen came after that no process carried on its still shown the empty blue screen

One my friend insisted me to install Ubuntu.

I tried installing Ubuntu freshly
and successfully installed. now i didn't get any error message.

now ubuntu is working properly without any error message while loading.

now this is the situation.
What is the problem?
please help me out to solve the problem..

how did you fix the error?

what is the main cause?

is there any problem with my motherboard?

if you successfully installed Ubuntu and everything works....there is nothing wrong with your hardware
it may be the windows cd is dirty or scratched...or it just didn't install properly...it happens...
you can try formatting the hard drive FIRST..and try to reinstall windows
