Ubuntu

uninstall 10.04

Asked by john

need to take out a third brain to follow some of the bullshit problems of removing this system from my windows7. having burnt a cd and installed dual boot,opened and had a good look at it but after hours of looking at "how to remove",partitions answers etc etc am still none the wiser. surely the install disk should have had the ability of an uninstall function. cannot remove from windows7 add/remove or find anything on Ubuntu disk or system.

Ubuntu is an operating system like Windows Vista or 7. As an example if you had Windows Vista and wanted to try 7 you would install it along side Vista but on a new partition eg. C:/ Vista D:/ 7 if you wanted to later remove 7 you can't remove it from programs section of Vista as Vista knows nothing about 7 and vice versa. To remove Ubuntu in your case you would need to open the partition manager in the control panel section of Windows 7 and remove the partition or reformat and then merge it back into your Windows partition which should take a few minutes depending on your machine spec and partiton size and can be run in the background while you are doing something else.

Hope this helps.

Be careful, you must first remove dual boot and replace it with Windows Seven MBR.
The dual boot bootloader is on Ubuntu partition, and if you remove this partition, you can't boot.
You will find on Google how to restore WIndows Seven MBR (process for Seven differ from XP).
If you need help, do a new post and I will provide the explanation this evening, when I will be at home.

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask john for more information if necessary.
