I uninstalled Ubuntu by the Uninstalled Tool that come with the Pack that you downloaded to installed Ubuntu. Just like Every program.

Uninstall tool? What uninstall tool are you talking about? In order to remove Ubuntu you would have to format the partition/drive on which it is residing since Ubuntu isn't a program it is an operating, unless you are using Ubuntu in Windows through Wubi in which case you can remove it through Add/Remove but Ubuntu would still be an operating system.

Yes I used Wubi.

Hi justinderoin,

It's actually not installed, but what has happened there is still a file listing it as a boot option.

For Vista, you can use EasyBCD to edit the boot menu. Alternatively you can modify the boot menu via control_panel > system > advanced > startup_and_recovery and pressing "Edit".

If it's still showing up in the Add/Remove programs list then you would need to do the following:
To remove Wubi from the add/remove list, delete the registry key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Wubi

Yah..that doesn't work either Ubuntu doesn't even show up in the Startup Recovery Menu, only Vista. But its ok know...I just reformatted. I needed to do it anyways. And Really the only reason I did today, is because when I turned my computer on this morning...It would ONLY start up in Safe mode...soo Its all fix know...running MUCH MUCH better...MY advice though...UBUNTU is a WASTE of TIME...not compatible with anything...and really...just spend money for Windows.
