Also do you need to keep/save any of the data you have on the ubuntu install? kirjava Unregistered 02-15-2006, 09:32 PM its ok now Unregistered 02-23-2006, 05:57 PM I would like to know if someone could tell me how to uninstall ubuntu and install windows xp!! :) Unregistered 03-25-2006, 02:35 AM yo i just download a operating system called alinux it has fdisk will will format ur partition and u can intall windows againg :) Unregistered 04-14-2006, 05:32 AM are you crazy !! ubuntu is better. Unregistered 04-16-2006, 03:01 PM Well people, I tired to give Linux a fair shake. But it failed me in several applications... I couldn't re-format the screen size. Ubuntu took care of that... I couldn't play Diablo (any one of them). Ubuntu took care of that... I insert stuff into a disk drive and I can't get it back out. Ubuntu took care of that... I have been trying to reformat my drive so that I can re-install Windows XP. I have been trying now for about three days. Ubuntu took care of that... OK. I am not a "geek" and I have learnt my lesson. Please, please, PLEASE... let me go back to Windows and I will NEVER come back and bother any of YOU again! None of the stuff that you folks out there have said is working. I got so fed up and pissed off with trying your stuff, I went out and purchased a brand new computer. Can you guess what OS it has on it? Not Linux... and it wasn't an Apple either... That's right, it has Windows XP on it. So now all you Linux people can go around a gloat how "holier than thou" that you are. Live in the glory of knowing that you have lost someone that COULD have been Linux friendly. Yes, I remember when DOS used to be the primary OS and I had somewhat of a hard time adjusting to Windows. But at least they were somewhat more accommodating that you folks are... Have a nice friggin day! Unregistered 05-14-2006, 04:45 PM lame ÷P Should've read more manuals, "howto's", user's guides and spent some more time gathering information, before trying to play "guru" and install Linux. Linux is not a toy! It's a powerfull system - for those, who know what they want and what they're doing ÷). Debian/Slackware based distros especially. You don't have to be a hacker, to install and use Linux, but you shouldn't also be an ignorant ÷) Unregistered 05-25-2006, 12:39 PM You know, it would have been really simple to obtain a bootable CD with Wipe.exe on it. Boot to the CD wipe 0 Wait depending on size of hard drive Install Windows Not really all that hard. malbe 06-05-2006, 10:32 PM Ok, you not only don't know how to use Linux, but it seems you also don't know how to use WindozeXP.... here's the most easy solution I can come up with: You should have a boot floppy, or be able to boot with your WinXP CD (or you're on the ilegal side?? if so: keep using Linux, don't steal other's work!) 1) Insert either the floppy or the CD in the proper drive and reboot your PC 2) Follow the instructions provided by Micro$oft, and when it ask's for the partition where you want to install it (you should be seeing a partition manager of some kind), simply choose the Linux partition you created when installing Ubuntu and delete it, and after that simply choose the free space that this previous operation left. 3) If you created more than one partition when installing Ubunut, you may want to delete all the partitions to be able to use all your hard drive under XP... Hope this helps... Markus PS: sorry for the harsh words at the begining of the message, but you also had harsh words for those who spent a lot of time working and gave away their work for free... and you had no reason to do so, since all this problem was only your fault. Snowwolf 07-07-2006, 03:11 AM To uninstall any OS from linux you have to boot up the system with the supplied WINXP cd (make sure its original, cause some not so legal ones do not have this option) and do the following: 1. Boot up into CD 2. At the first indication asking whether you like to go into system repair (can't remember the exact word) press the corrosponding key (think it's 'R') it will bring you into a CLI and you should see the dos prompt there. 3. type FIXMBR Do this so your boot record will not reflect the Boot Menu if not everytime win start up you will see the menu and have to choose the correct OS u like to boot in 4. press 'y' to acknowledge to fix the Master Boot Records (MBR) 5. Reboot system 6. Boot into CD 7. Install WINXP accordingly. I still like Ubuntu actually. GNOME is better than KDE for myself ;o) Hope this helps. Jack |
