1. Right click Computer and select Manage.
2. Right click on the Ubuntu Parition, select delete volume and do the same for the swap area partition.

4. Type in your administrator password
5 .Type FIXMBR and press enter. Press Y to confirm.
6.Type EXIT, press the enter key to restart your machine and remove the install disc.

Ubuntu is now removed along with GRUB loader, you are left with your windows xp installation.

6.Restart your machine & remove the install disc.

Ubuntu is now removed along with GRUB loader, you are left with your windows installation.
