So i tried to duel boot my system with xp. problem is, i have a mac usb keyboard, and neither of my cd or dvd roms work. i could not go to the boot screen when installing ubuntu, i had to manually change the boot order when going to the properties of my computer in xp. now i'm stuck on this initramfs. everything i've read on the subject seemed to be solvable, but i dont think i'm savvy enough to get it to work. is there a command etc that could just wipe the ubuntu installation and go back to xp so i can try do do a more proper install? or is there a command that i can input that will possibly let me change the order of what boots without using BIOS because my keyboard does not work upon immediately starting it. only when the initramfs screen shows. can't use my arrow keys to tell it to switch to windows. thanks in advance for the help if there is any out there!

If it's a PC you really need a PC keyboard.
