| Two ways, one is simple good old Fdisk, the other is to use the Ubuntu live cd and run Gparted. Both can remove your Ubuntu Partition (non dos, Ext3) If you have installed Grub you may encounter a second problem. Removing grub is not easy. Even after deleting everything Grub can still be there if you installed it into the MBR (master boot record) you can after removing your Ubuntu partition (and rebooting to check for grub) run fdisk /mbr however in some cases (depending on the version of fdisk or something else) it can cripple your windows partition. So be carefull. |
