You should not need to "uninstall" ubuntu; you can just reinstall windows over the top.

If you have a dual boot session however, you may need to use your windows CD to reset the windows boot loader.

That won't work, I've tried that method with a Windows 7 disk and it did nothing. Any other suggestions?

The it's probably a Wubi install. Just boot Windows and uninstall Ubuntu from Add/Install programs

Hello Joey!
You can also try uninstall Ubuntu with Partition Manager. Delete partition with Ubuntu frome your HDD, than erase partition with Windows.

It's probably a Wubi install, so deleting partitions is not advisable. If it were a full dual boot install with it's own partition, installing Windows again would have removed the grub2 bootloader and booting into Ubuntu would no longer be an option.

The fix is to remove the Wubi install with Add/Remove Programs in Windows. (called something different in Vista/Windows 7)

Please provide partition table, to allow me to know if you are using Wubi:
