Installing Ubuntu and Freespire Help

I just put a spare drive into my PC and try to put Linux on.
First I try Freespire. After it's done installing and tell me to remove the disc and reboot. I get the message saying that internal error 2nd sector of stage 2 is unknown.
Well, Let me try Ubuntu then. I intalled Ubuntu and I still get an error during rebooting this time I get error 17 and it just hang there. And now the worst part. I have Vista 64 and XP on two seperate hard drive and I can not boot to neither one of them.
(My Bios has the option which hard I want to boot to) I've been switching to XP and Vista with no problem) Now Linux must have written some boot files on each drive.
I use Ubuntu live to check if I accidently install it on the wrong drive. But my Vista files and XP files are still there.
I really hate to reinstall those two operating system back in there again if I don't have to .
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
 
Found the solution.
Thank god to the Floppy drive. I know it would come in handy.
I use Win98 boot disc and
use Fdisk/mbr that seem to fix the problem.
