I want to reformat my old computer with XP, but it's the hardest thing I've tried to do in a while. The CD drive is broken so it won't run the installation disc. I downloaded XP online and tried to install it through that, but I realized that the computer can't delete the already installed OS because it's loading the installation files off of it. I installed ubuntu onto my flash drive so that I could boot that and install through there, but when the ubuntu loading screen pops up, it stays there forever. I think I get some error, but I can't remember what it is. Is there a better version of linux I can use or another way to try to install XP?

Couldn't you just put the WIndows XP CD on your flash drive? Afaik there's ways to format it so it's bootable. Just google for the instructions.
From the Windows XP setup you can partition and format.

Oh_Man -- No APM in chess. Computer just outthinks the human by seeing more moves ahead and more permutations[05:47 pm]
NimoStar -- If its any consolation, the human brain would still mop the floor with this bot if it wasn't limited by the mechanical interface[05:34 pm]
NimoStar -- Well. The bot didn't come up with any new strategy. It just has superhuman micro. Hard to beat that. I reckon even the simplest dedicated chess engines are unbeatable for humans now.[10:54 am]
NudeRaider -- Oh_ManOh_Man shouted: NudeRaider did u watch the entire video? it's not one game. it's currently dominating the ladder at number 1 position. do ur research first!
Oops, caught me there, no I haven't. 
I was imagining how the game went. Sorry for that. Watching it now. brb[10:52 am]
NudeRaider -- NimoStarNimoStar shouted: They were not "Unprepared" that was their fifth loss in a row against the bot. The other replays are also available
that doesn't mean he was prepared. When humans come around with new strategies it often takes weeks until the pros figure out how to shut it down. Oh_ManOh_Man shouted: https://youtu.be/GiQ-cDtsZYw
that's certainly a way more convincing argument for micro being "too good to beat".[08:35 am]
NimoStar -- " its shown is that you can trade 1000's of apm to make up for lack of strategy"
