trouble downloading windows XP

When I try to download Windows XP, it immediately says "FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted." in the dialogue box. I run Ubuntu 8.10.

I apologize if this isn't enough information to formulate an effective response. I'm new to Linux and am kind of technologically retarded (for now). Similarly, I apologize if this is an easy question. Needless to say, any responses are probably going to have to be dumbed-down so I can follow. Please let me know if I can offer any more information.

THANKS!

Have you read the Manual for the installation of a Guest? If not, please read first for understanding, what you are doing.
