I put ubuntu on my wifes computer and she doesnt like!
I am trying to switch it back and when I enter the disk it gives me this error..
Archive: /media/cdrom0/setup.exe
[/media/cdrom0/setup.exe]
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
note: /media/cdrom0/setup.exe may be a plain executable, not an archive
zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /media/cdrom0/setup.exe or
/media/cdrom0/setup.exe.zip, and cannot find /media/cdrom0/setup.exe.ZIP, period.
Help!!!! she is very upset

What are you trying to do? Remove Ubuntu? Reinstall Windows? Please tell us more about your version of Windows and (important) if you have the Windows recovery CDs (this is not the Ubuntu liveCD).

It seems like you are trying to install windows while booted into Ubuntu. You'll need to boot from the windows CD to install, but first make sure you backup your wife's files to an external hard disk or flash drive.
