No, you can't. Did you install Ubuntu alongside XP? Or you installed it over XP? Ubuntu isn't supposed to show up in your start menu. I would suggest you read up on the installation steps from start to finish before you try to install it again and dont do it until you understand everything. A good place to start will be http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-ubuntu-studio-9.04
