You want to dual boot windows and what? Use a Live CD and gparted to delete the ubuntu partition.

If you want to try a different operating system you can just format/override the partition.
If you want to have windows alone you can delete the ubuntu partition and resize the windows partition.

If you have a conventional dual-boot (i.e., not Wubi) and you delete the Ubuntu partition, you won't be able to boot into Windows. Not until you repair the Windows MBR, that is. That's because some of grub is in the Ubuntu root partition.

If you need to repair the Windows MBR you can:

1 - Run FIXMBR from a Windows install disk. It must be a Microsoft disc, not an OEM image disc.

2 - If you don't have a Windows install disc, the easiest way (that I know of) of repairing the Windows MBR is with SuperGrubDisk.
