Hello,
Would you be able to give some more details?
It would help to know any of the following:
1. Model of Aspire One (eg AOA 150 (zg5), AOD 250, 532h, 7xx...)
The Aspire Ones have quite a range of hardware.
If it's the 11 inch, I'd expect graphics issues, from the GMA 500.
2. Graphics card that Xp reports.
3. Any error mesages you see.

I suspect you're seeing the "black screen" issue which occurs when the graphics driver doesn't work right.
If so, it might be possible to work around it in the boot parameters (try editing boot options when you start up, select the line starting "linux /boot/vmlinuz....", edit, go to the end, and add the options " nomodeset xforcevesa", if I'm remembering right, press enter, and boot)
(You might be better off in the "Ubuntu" subforum... or on ubuntuforums)
