Boot using your Windows installation CD. Follow the onscreen instructions to restore the XP bootloader and shut down.

Boot with the Ubuntu live CD and use gparted (System > Administration > Partition Editor) to delete the Ubuntu partitions and resize the Windows partition to use the freed space. Shut down.

Reboot into XP and allow the disk checker to automatically scan the resized partition.

Decided not to uninstall at this stage, but will kkep instructions to hand. Trouble has been resolved and really enjoy using UBUNTU especially with such helpful people as yourselves. Many thanks. Peter
