Re: uninstalling ubuntu

2009/3/25 Waleed Harbi <waleed.harbi@xxxxxxxxx>:
Hello,
I suggest the following steps:

In Vista write in RUN box > compmgmt.msc > Disk Management > Format Ubuntu
partition.
Reboot your laptop.
You will see black screen, do not worry this issue in MBR, you just need fix
the MBR then NO need for reinstall Vista. Below I sorted the links to fix
the MBR but you need Vista CD/DVD and Ubuntu CD/DVD:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=486394&highlight=remove+dual+boot&page=2
"strydermed" , http://www.winvistatips.com/fix-mbr-a116.php or Just the
following command in DOS:

bootrec.exe /fixmbr
bootrec.exe /fixboot

Backup your data before you start :)

 Good luck

Hi

My name is Paulo Baptista
I've recently installed Ubuntu on my laptop using a dual-boot system
with
Vista Home Premium.
But now I realize that I made a mistake, because I'm not having the time
or
the pacience to learn how to use Ubuntu.
So my question is, how can i uninstall Ubuntu, leaving my Vista
completely
intact and regaining the space the Ubuntu partition took???

Thanks to any friend that helps me with this.

Ps. Please email me to my account paulocamposbaptista@xxxxxxxxx


Paulo,

So sorry, I gave you the wrong thread link, too much talk and no help
at all, and the gal didn't even have any Windows installed any more.

Any of the links provided by Waleed Harbi may help you. It is only a
matter of restoring the original MBR using the Vista commands. However
I suggest deleting the Ubuntu partitions after restoring the MBR, not
before, in the worst case will still have a functional OS. In case
your Vista can't erase the unwanted partitions I guess this can be
easily accomplished by the partition manager in the Ubuntu Live CD. I
don't know if Vista alone can restore the original partition size,
perhaps you'll have to use a partition manager (after backing up your
system).

(Waleed, thanks for your better answer but please bottom post and no HTML)
