Ubuntu is good to have on your machine even if you don't use it, you'll know what I mean when a virus or trojen gets your windows setup.

Anyway,

1. Use the live cd or windows cd to delete the ubuntu partition.
2. Use the windows recovery console to fix the master boot record: fixmbr I believe.
3. When you get back to windows you can use the disk management utility to format the drive as you need it.
