uninstalling Ubuntu (Temporarily) help

Asked by Mary Ann Hancock

I have Ubuntu 10 installed on my laptop. I am trying to unistall it. I deleted program from control panel, but this does not delete the program at startup. A fellow student helped me install it. After BIOS runs there are 4 Ubuntu options (2 are memory tests) and then the windows option. I select the windows option. Then it goes to another screen where my choices are windows xp or Ubuntu. I think it is installed in partitions, but am not sure. I need to have only windows xp running on my computer for the time being. Can anyone help me thru unistalling this?

If windows XP works:
Take your cd with Windows XP, boot from it and switch to the repair console.
Login as admin and type in the console: fixmbr

So, now should you only see windows on startup. When windows ist started you can format the partitions that are used
by ubuntu.

If windows XP not works:
Take your cd with windows XP and format your harddrive and install XP again. When you format your harddrive, ubuntu is gone.

Can you help with this problem?
