Un-installing Ubuntu

Asked by Parker Grytdal

Hello! I am sorry to say that I no longer want Ubuntu to be installed on my computer. I have to say that I do like Ubuntu, but it does not have some of the features I need, so I am going to be going to Windows 7.

The problem is, I had windows Vista on my computer before Ubuntu. When I first installed Ubuntu, I was planning it to be a side-by-side install (cant remember what u guy's called it) but upon installing it, it said that Ubuntu crashed. So, being the brilliant person I am, I decided to re-install it! Now, it appears that I have multiple versions of Ubuntu on my computer (more then 2, which I think is weird) and a version of Windows Vista. So, I go to boot Windows Vista, and it starts to boot, but doesn’t finish booting and the computer just re-starts. So, talked to Tech Support at Staples (I don’t trust Best Buy... they ripped me off) and they said I needed a Windows Vista Restart Disk. So, I ordered one off of amazon, and it got here today. I was able to boot up the windows vista that usually doesn’t load and I went to "programs" and un-installed Ubuntu... but I am typing this question on Ubuntu right now. How to I totally un-install Ubuntu... and re-install Windows Vista so I can install Windows 7?

Thanks!

Do you want both Vista and Seven ?
If you want only Seven, I presume it will use whole disk to install.
Else you can boot on Ubuntu CD and choose "Try" instead of "Install". Then System->Administration->Gparted. Erase ext4fs and swap partitions, and then extend NTFS partition (Vista) to use whole disk.

Can you help with this problem?
