Unstall Ubuntu without Windows

How did you install Ubuntu? Why do you believe that you need access to the Windows system, to remove it?

Do you still need to recover data from the broken Windows system? If not, you can just boot from the Windows install CD, and use the Windows installer to erase the entire disk. That will remove both the old Windows system and the newly installed Ubuntu system.

can you give your bios set up? plz look your bios set up. correct it as ATA, SATA Or AHCI ?then reboot your system.

I installed Ubuntu on a CD with imgburn and installed Ubuntu from the CD to the Fujitsu laptop. According to instructions on how the uninstall Ubuntu, I have to access windows OS or DOS. I can not access any operating system on the on the Fujitsu except Ubuntu and I need to remove Ubuntu to be able to access the BIOS. I don't need to save any programs, drivers, upgrades, etc. on the hard drive, I just need to recover all personal files, documents, emails, pictures, favorities, calendar, etc. from the Fujitsu hard drive. If I restore or recover, I will loose all my personal data. I have removed the hard drive, hooked it up to a SATA/IDE via USB adapter and have it hooked to another laptop. I can not see the hard drive in my computer. I can see the hard drive in Disk Management and Device Manager. Here is a screen shot of Disk Management:

I want to retrieve the data on the hard drive either by fixing the OS on the Fujitsu or by hooking up the hard drive externally to another laptop. Once I get the data off the Fujitus, I will be shipping it to my IT Dept and they will reimage it.

thanks for any help.

"According to instructions on how the uninstall Ubuntu, I have to access windows OS or DOS."

What instructions? Where? If they're online, please provide a link.

If you're using instructions for Wubi, those do not apply to you, as your Ubuntu installation is not a Wubi installation.

"...and I need to remove Ubuntu to be able to access the BIOS."

You do not need to remove Ubuntu to access the BIOS, and removing Ubuntu is not useful in accessing the BIOS. You can enter the BIOS setup by pressing whatever key is indicated on the screen for doing so when you first power on your computer.

Do you need to recover data from the Windows system on the drive, or from the Ubuntu system on the drive, or both?

...To do this you need to be in windows (its an exe) download this file http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/bootitng.html...

"...and I need to remove Ubuntu to be able to access the BIOS." Ok, sorry, I did click on this icon not knowing what it was.

You can enter the BIOS setup by pressing whatever key is indicated on the screen for doing so when you first power on your computer. When I spoke to the Fujitsu tech and enter F8, the system defaulted to Ubunta. He told me to remove it first then call him back.

Do you need to recover data from the Windows system on the drive, or from the Ubuntu system on the drive, or both? I need to recover data from the Windows OS only.

BTW, thanks for your help!

Did you install Ubuntu inside Windows partition or in a new partition ? Did you use Wubi software ?
"When I spoke to the Fujitsu tech and enter F8, the system defaulted to Ubuntu." You should have seen BIOS options. BIOS is launched before any OS. You should be able to select from which device (hard disk, USB, CD) to boot. Unfortunately, "tech" are only people which follow a written procedure, and they have no procedure for Ubuntu, even if in facts it changes nothing.
We (Eliah and me) need the partition table to help you. Could you provide it ?
---
Please provide partition table.

If you can't boot from hard drive, boot en Ubuntu CD/USB stik and then choose "Try without install".

Open a terminal: you can either press Ctrl+Alt+T or Applications->Accessories->Terminal.

To copy/paste in a terminal, replace Ctrl+C by Ctrl+Shift+C and Ctrl+V by Ctrl+Shift+V (for historical reason, Ctrl+C is assigned another function).

Paste to terminal the following commands:

    sudo fdisk -l

where "-l" is lower case "L".

Copy/paste result into a new thread post.

Did you install Ubuntu inside Windows partition or in a new partition ? I believe a new partition, not sure.
Did you use Wubi software ? Again, my apologies for not knowing completely, but I don't think so.

Not sure if this is the partition table you're looking for ... ? here's the link to it:

Will send result of terminal in new thread post. thanks.

You didn't install via Wubi but installed beside Windows. You have the both Ubuntu partitions.
You don't have to uninstall Ubuntu, as it is installed as a operating software and not an application (Wubi case).
You need to reinstall Windows and after that to delete both Ubuntu partitions, and format them to NTFS.
The first partition in first drive is too small to be a recovery partition, so I'm affraid you will have to request an installation CD to Fujitsu. Perhaps only boot files are corrupted, in this case you could use http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1014708
For me it looks you have more a Windows issue.

If your goal is to recover data from inside the Windows partition, then you may be able to use the Disk Manager to assign a drive letter to the large NTFS partition that appears on the disk, and then access it that way.

Otherwise, while you will indeed need a Windows CD for restoring the Windows boot loader to the MBR or reinstalling Windows, you should be able to recover the files from within Ubuntu itself. This will not render your old Windows system usable, but you should be able to get your documents. Do you want to do this. If so, I'll provide instructions.

(I'm busy at the moment, and thus not providing instructions just now...but if you indicate that you want to use Ubuntu to recover documents from that Windows partition, I'll go ahead and help you with that, probably later today.)

Please still provide the results of running "sudo fdisk -l" in the Terminal, especially if you want help in using Ubuntu to recover documents from the inaccessible Windows partition.

I tried to assign a drive letter to the partition and the menu did not give me the option.

This is the reason I installed Ubuntu was to be able to recover the files.

Thank you, yes.

I am having difficulty completing this task. However, the laptop does start up in Ubuntu, so is this task needed? Can I work in the Ubuntu OS to get the files from the WinXP partition?
