Uninstalling Ubuntu?

[Vampirrella]

I tried Ubuntu on my old laptop but it will not recognise an old wireless network access card (Dlink) so i have no use for linux on this system now. But im not understanding how to actually uninstall this.

Inserting the cd just boots up a menu to start or install it, nothing on how to delete it.

Thx!

Delete the Ubuntu partition and running 'fixboot' from a Windows rescue disc should be enough.

Not exactly the answer to your question, but have you tried using ndiswrapper for your wireless card?

You can "uninstall" it the same way you uninstall windows, just delete the partition. Now fixing the MBR is another story and it is answered in a post above.

I wouldn't give up that easy on Linux, try another version, known as a "Distro" there are hundreds. 😉 -----> http://www.distrowatch.com
