Hello

what you can do this is to uninstall the ubuntu hard drive partition and reinstall it after

You must reinstall Maverick if you want to use maverick. I suggest you try a clean install of Natty first, see if it makes things nice. You will need to wipe the partitions clean which currently hold Ubuntu then install to the free space (Be sure you have a backup of everything you need FIRST). If you used Wubi then do the same backing up then boot to Windows and uninstall Wubi using add/remove, you should also delete the Wubi folder so that the fresh install goes to a clean slate.

You need to format the partitions during the installation. Use custom partitioning and set the current Linux partitions holding Ubuntu to be formatted and used for their respective use. You will need at least a / partition (known as root) and a swap partition.
