If you don't know , how knows ?

A usual way to find if an NTFS filesystem exists (so probably Windows installation also) is via terminal (CTRL+ALT+T).

apply below commands one by one

sudo fdisk -l
sudo parted -l
sudo lshw -businfo | grep -i scsi

and see the results OR post the results back here and we will tell you.

To go back to Windows you will need a DVD of Windows and RE-Install. Simple as that.

Thanks

You need windows installation disk or windows repair disk

boot from disk

click on "Repair your computer".

select OS > Press Next > Click on "command prompt"

In Command Prompt Type:

bootrec /fixmbr

bootrec /fixboot

Then Reboot.

Reclaim your hdd space occupied by ubuntu using gparted or any other such tool

Can you help with this problem?
