uninstall ubuntu 8.10

No need to "uninstall". Windows will overwrite it.

but when i want to install windows xp, it`s say that the partition in not available.
so, i cannot install the windows into any partition.

Boot from a live CD and use the partition editor to erase / format your hard drive as needed.

Try this:

a) - Be sure you have the Windows installation CD and it is readable from your cdrom

b) - Boot your pc from the Ubuntu 7.10 or 8.04 or 8.10 live install cd
When Ubuntu is up press ALT+F2 and type into opened dialog window: gparted
Now using gparted
Select from upper right the /dev/... hard disk
Then select the etx3 right click with mouse on that partition and select delete, press "Apply"
gparted delete partition and close itself

Press ALT+F2 and type into opened dialog window: gparted
Redo the same for the swap partition.
gparted delete partition

c) - Shutdown Ubuntu remove Ubuntu CD and insert the Window XP cd and try to install it...

Hope this helps
