Hi.

I recently installed Ubuntu (per today the newest version), but I think I'd rather like to have the HardyHeron "in Windows" version installed. So my question is as follows:

How can I uninnstall my Ubuntu and get the disk space I assigned for it back?

Thanks in advance for any reply.

1st thing to do is to get it to boot straight to windows. Lots of ways described here. IDBS Remove/Replace/Uninstal Grub (http://www.users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p18.htm)

After that is done - you can use Vistas partitioner to reclaim the space currently use by the Ubuntu installation.

Its going to be sower and harder to support.

Thanks for the answer.

So Vista have a built-in partitioner? Where do I find this?

To your question: Well, mainly because I won't be using Linux that much - only for educational purposes, and I find it a bit too messy to restart my computer everytime I want to do some homework. Now I'll probarly be asked why I'm only planning on using Linux for homework and not for everything, and the answer is simple (and perhaps stupid). I use the Opera web browser, and Adobe Flash Player doesn't support Opera in Linux, only Firefox. And I don't like Firefox that much.

The partitioner is found by by right clicking on Computer > manage > Disk management. Haven't used it myself. But it looks fairly straight forward though.
