thanks for that and all the other great help ,just to be clear I still have ubunto installed but do not want to have it any longer .


as for running my computer from dis ,not sure because i tired this once before ,my disc is windows media sp 2 ,but as i updated to service pack 3 last time i tired to use my disk for something it was not having any of it .

okay I am off the follow the instructions you have set me on the last page ,and will report back .

You will need to delete Ubuntu manually - I will check that out as well. With the disc all you are doing is ammending the MBR to reflect no Ubuntu system

I not sure if any of that will work for me as i have it on a partition and i think that is talking about a virtual drive or something ,but thank you for the suggestion .

If it is on its own partition and you have repaired the MBR then a reformat of the partition will remove it and give you all that space Enjoy

I followed the instruction on the first post .

one question ,I had an other partition ,now i cannot remember if I tried installing ubunto twice or perhaps my windows installation is partitioned so i left it alone .My main partition I knew because it was the biggest .i would also do an other one of about 2.5gig but i worry it may be of importance,as for unbunto that was called ubunto so knew it was correct . ..after my disk check i shall go back in to resize my partition an should have the ubunto space back .I tied do do this earlier but it failled and it told me to tun a diske check which i am doing right now on my main computer not this one .

I may install unbunto again ,but my main problem with it this time is I did not make the partition big enough to install any updates or anything for that matter ,but as the steps to remove it worked i may try again some time .


thanks for all the help ,and feel free to tell me if i am going wrong .

If the grub loader has gone and you are booting OK then so is the MBR That page looks nice and comprehensive - I may bookmark that Ta
