Personally, I would never install the two on the same harddrive to avoid this conflict altogether. Actually the link that was provided seemed straight-forward, so perhaps you should take another look. ;)

In order to uninstall Ubuntu, the main thing is just to restore a Windows MBR (Master Boot Record) so that you can boot directly into Windows again. Once you can boot directly into Windows, you can use a partition editor to delete the Ubuntu partitions, or format them to use the Windows NTFS file system so you can use the partitions in Windows. To restore a Windows MBR, if you have your Windows Install CD, boot that, go to the "recovery console" and run:

fixmbr
Or if you don't have a Windows Install CD, you could boot your Ubuntu Live CD, open a terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal), and do:

sudo lilo -M /dev/sda mbr
And that will install a Windows equivalent MBR to your internal drive. Let me know how it goes.
