Well, I've recently tested out Ubuntu Linux, and i've decided its just not for me. It was on a really old laptop, and there were too many errors....so, i've decided to delete the Ubuntu partition and start using my Windows 2000 partition again (which Grub, for some reason, never identified). Only 1 problem: How do i delete the Ubuntu partition? Whenever i put in a CD (boot sequence is CD first) it says cannot run, code: 5. I cannot run the windows 2000 cd from Ubuntu for obvious reasons, but the same applies to knoppix and DS linux. This laptop doesn't have a floppy so i can't boot into DOS, and i'm not sure if it supports booting from USB. Any ideas? I really want to get back to using windows, Linux is a nightmare to configure . Thanks, i really need the help.

put the windows 2000 disk in... reboot.. when it asks (which, if booting from cd is first in line... it will ask) "Press any key to boot from cd"... do so.. and follow the instructions.

So while Ubuntu is running, put the cd in, then reboot? I'll try that as soon as i get the chance....

FOR ME WHEN I WANT TO DELETE UBUNTU
I PUT WIN98 BOOTABLE CD IN THE CDROM
BOOT START FROM CD
RESTART COMPUTER
I CHOOSE FOR EXAMPLE H://FDESK
TO PARTITION THE HARD ONCE AGAIN
AS IF IT IS ANEW HARD DESK

OR TO USE PARTITION MAGIC CD TO CHOOSE START FROM CD

TO FORMAT THE PARTITION OF UBUNTU

WITH FAT32
