grub2 - Installing Windows XP from USB, Grub Rescue

On my netbook (HP mini 110) there was a LUBUNTU (do not remember which one) operating system. I Tried to install Windows XP.



The hard disk format was EXT4. To change the hard disk format from ext4 to ntfs I did this.



1) Downloaded and extracted .iso file into USB using rufus

,



2) Ran the Lubuntu ISO from usb,



3) Ran the GParted program and changed the main hard disk to ntfs type.



I then burned the Windows XP ISO to usb again, Changed boot priority (made usb first readable drive)



The problem is that when I turn on the computer, after a few seconds, this error occurred:





error: unknown filesystem.



Entering rescue mode...



grub rescue>




Nothing about WINDOWS is appearing.
