    Start over.
    It sounds like your (ex-)friend put the WinXP into what was either the recovery or swap partition.
    So your Linux install is probably still there - you can probably just re-install grub and boot it.
    (if you do that, and it was the "recovery" partition the "friend" used - you can set up grub to boot it also.)
    But a 4G WinXP install isn't much use - -
    So better advice:
    1) Find better friends...
    2) Wipe drive and start over - if you want to dual boot, install the Win-Product first, then the other.

    If your model is KR922UT it's not surprising - this one had no hard drive, but just 4GB SSD drive. Please check if you really have regular HDD inside.
