If i choose the second option i directs me to a black screen which says(also check photos):

if you have not ever formatted your hard drive you should have a hidden partition that will take your pc to factory settings:

Launching Acer eRecovery Management
1
You may also launch Acer eRecovery Management by running the program
from the Acer program group in the Start menu, or by double-clicking the
icon if you have created a desktop shortcut.


2
You can choose to restore the system from a factory default image or
reinstall applications and drivers.
3
Follow the instructions on screen to complete the process.
Note: External optical disc drive required. Please see your retailer
for more details.


I want to restore my computer to its original settings without
recovery CDs.
Note: D2D Recovery is only available in notebook models fitted
with a hard drive.
Note: If your system is the multilingual version, the operating
system and language you choose when you first turn on the
system will be the only option for future recovery operations.
This recovery process helps you restore the C: drive with the original software
content that is installed when you purchase your notebook. Follow the steps
below to rebuild your C: drive. (Your C: drive will be reformatted and all data
will be erased.) It is important to back up all data files before using this option.
Before performing a restore operation, please check the BIOS settings.
1
Check to see if Acer disk-to-disk recovery is enabled or not.
2
Make sure the D2D Recovery setting in Main is Enabled.
3
Exit the BIOS utility and save changes. The system will reboot.
Note: To activate the BIOS utility, press <F2> during POST.

To start the recovery process:
1
Restart the system.
2
While the Acer logo is showing, press <Alt> + <F10> at the same time to
enter the recovery process.
3
Refer to the onscreen instructions to perform system recovery.
Important! This feature occupies 6 GB in a hidden partition on
your hard disk

------------------------

if no hard drive is found that is because you have sata drives and xp is not formulated to start with other than ide. so you will have to change your bios to ide.

your manual.

--------------------

if you did not make recovery discs that will be a little harder because in order to install sata drivers they will have to be installed on a floppy and then installed at the step of installation where it says press F6 to install scsi or raid drivers.

--------------
as for Ubuntu, I have never installed this so I cannot help you there once you get xp up and running then you might check at the Ubuntu forums on how to install.
