Installing Windows XP instead of UBUNTU?

Instead of Ubuntu, I'm trying to install Windows XP, since I'm going to give a laptop.
1. Created a boot disk via WinSetupUSB.
I formatted the disk in NTFS in it
Created a configuration and unpacked the Windows XP image onto a USB flash drive
2. Set the Removable device priority in the BIOS in the Boot tab
3. Still loads ubuntu and does not see the USB flash drive

Enemy?
He won't load. Only with Windows version 7 it was possible to do this, look for special programs for creating a Windows XP installation flash drive.

look in the Boot section not Removable device, but HDD (something like that), most likely a flash drive there!
put it in the first place.

Set the BIOS priority to Remove device in the Boot tab
And after that, you need to find a specific flash drive in the list of disks and put it first.
And put Lushche seven.
XP is a great system, but at the moment it is simply outdated - the user will constantly have problems with browsers and new software.

It formatted the disk in ntfs format
What for? The windows installation disk wants to be in fat32 or fat16 at least. There have also been successful experiments with dumb cdrom dumps (i.e. the udf file system or whatever iso uses fz for).
ps if suddenly you have problems with the old BIOS that cannot be loaded, for example, from 16gb flash drives (or 8, I don’t remember the exact border after which problems occurred), then don’t suffer, install winxp from a virtual machine in linux (at least the same livecd) by connecting a physical disk instead of the virtual one from the file, and only then boot from the real hardware. The virtual machine helps in a very large number of problems.
