Copy Bootmgr To Usb
--- COMPLETELY EDITED POST following more precise information received about problem
If I understand correctly, after trying Ubuntu, you want to reinstall Windows XP. You were trying to simply copy the contents of the Windows XP Installation medium to a USB drive and got a 'BOOTMGR missing' error when trying to start the computer with this USB drive.
My first idea was to replace the boot sector on the USB drive with a Windows XP boot sector, which would try to load NTLDR instead of BOOTMGR. However, this failed to take into account that with either boot sectors (older XP version or updated Vista and newer version) the Windows XP Installation medium is not designed to be started from USB (unlike that of Windows Vista and newer).
From other comments that you made, I seem to understand that you do not own a physical copy of your Windows XP installation medium, but rather have an ISO copy of it.
The logical advice from here is simply to burn your ISO copy to a CD-ROM and to use that disc to start the computer and install Windows XP the way it was designed to be. This solution does not seem to appeal to you. Maybe you don't have a CD-ROM drive or burner in that computer?
