2your hard disk is going to fail soon. The self test are reporting that. Probably in XP, it doesn't recognize the result. Try windows 7, you will get the error. So backup your disk as early as possible– Web-EMar 20, 2013 at 15:52

Ubuntu is more sensitive to potential disk failure, and will tell you long before Windows does. Heed the messages Ubuntu is giving you. Your drive is failing. I don't care what Windows (especially XP) says. By the time Windows figures it out, you probably won't even be able to boot to the drive.
Yes, brand-new drives can fail. I've had this exact same thing happen with my Western Digital 1TB drive (it was a factory defect with that line of drives). Since it's brand new, you can get it replaced under the manufacturer's warranty. Do that ASAP.
