March 22, 201016 yr Alright So I have a dual boot setup on my main computer. Im running Vista Basic with Ubuntu 9.10. Vista is partitioned on the main HDD (250gb) and around 60gb of the 2nd HDD. Ubuntu claims around 20gb of memory on the 2nd HDD. How do I remove ubuntu WITHOUT reinstalling vista and revert back to the standard vista bootloader. --On a side note--Ive tried to just delete the ubuntu partition and when I boot up afterwards I get the error:boot0:testingboot0:failed To try and fix this I put in my vista disk tried to repair it via the repair center and ran bootrec[Caution: Executable File] /fixmbr and bootrec[Caution: Executable File] /fixboot in the CMD to no avail. Sicus Locum Para Bellum!

I would really try the Ubuntu forums... I've got the same setup as you, and it's been invaluable while muddling through setting up Ubuntu. The real killer for it though, is setting up wireless internet. Microsoft did one thing correctly, I guess. "Those who give up their liberty for more security neither deserve liberty nor security." Support transparency... and by extension, freedom and democracy.
March 29, 201016 yr Do you still have the install disc/USB for Ubuntu? (Assuming you installed it that way) First you should boot up from the Vista disc and have someone tell you what command to type into the command prompt (Something like fixboot). Back up everything you want on your Ubuntu partition first though, after doing that command boot from the disc/USB, go to System->Administration->Gparted, delete the unnecessary partition, go back to Windows and you should be able to expand C:\ from there. Although I can't imagine why you'd give up Ubuntu for Vista Basic.
