Re: Win XP Critical error
You can start Ubuntu as a live cd. Or install as Dual Boot.
I think it makes no sense to pay for new hardware for such old pcs.

Re: Win XP Critical error
as I thought then. Thanks 
It detects only 1gb of ram but i have 2, maybe it stopped working or VM doesn't detect it or slot is broken again. Gonna try to fix it.

Re: Win XP Critical error
replaced ram slots and seems to work again, 2gb of RAM
Yup, virtualbox runs without any problems, so I can install ubuntu.
Thanks guys, thread can be removed
