General :: How To Uninstall Kubuntu And Windows
Jun 2, 2011
Recently I installed Ubuntu parallel to windows, since I still have some projects to finish using windows software. While exploring the world of Ubuntu I came across Kubuntu, which looked very nice. Now I made the mistake to download the installation disk and install Kubuntu parallel to Ubuntu and Windows. I played around with Kubuntu for a while, it looks really nice but I decided to stick to Ubuntu. So now I would like to remove Kubuntu, but I don't know how. The same goes for Windows, as soon as I have finished my projects with windows software. I would like to remove it as well, so that finally my computer runs only on Ubuntu.

I currently have Ubuntu running on my dads computer, but came to the conclusion, not to mention his complaining, that Ubuntu isn't for him. Instead, I read up on Kubuntu and thought it was perfect!
I already know that I can download Kubuntu through the Ubuntu software center, but I want to do a complete clean install with Kubuntu. So far, I have made a cd for Kubuntu, but can't get the cd to pick up when I boot my pc, so that I may install it.
How can I install Kubuntu for his computer and remove Ubuntu?

I have windows 7 home premium currently installed and I have just recently installed Linux Mint and it has replaced my MBR with GRUB. Is there any way I can restore the normal Windows 7 Boot Loader and have the secondary option to boot my Linux Mint?

I have the driver cd of a frontech pen tablet which is for windows (there are also driver files for mac os in the cd). On Kubuntu, I am trying to use the ndiswrapper -i driver_file.inf command but there are many .inf files on the cd. I am having trouble recognizing which file is the driver file for the pen tablet.

I have a Vista/Kubuntu dualboot, with grub2 as my loader. Because i have read that Windows likes to ignore something else present on the system and overwrite everything with itself. So i installed Vista, then Kubuntu.Now i want to upgrade my Vista to Win7. My question is - what should i do in order to keep my current dualboot intact (Grub2 as a loader, and kubuntu fully functional). I fear Win7 might even never ask me about keeping my kubuntu dualboot, just overwrite everything. PS: My bootinfoscript output
Code:
Boot Info Script 0.55 dated February 15th, 2010

It seems like all I can find as far as tutorials are for dual booting... I simply want to delete my ubuntu operating system and replace it with Windows 7. There is no data that I need to save, I just need to delete it.

I've been using Ubuntu for atleast 8 months now but today I bought a new laptop and I followed a thread that said to install gpartition and delete all the partitions that said "FAT32" and "nfts" or something but all but one had those and it was called "unallocated" with no memory. It was easier on 10.10 because it asked if I wanted to fully erase Windows. How do I do this safely and JUST KEEP UBUNTU 11.04 on my laptop?

I admit it, Ubuntu is a good system, but I only installed it onto a Windows 98 because I wanted it to connect with a newer computer. It didn't work, and now I have to stand by so I can select my version. How can I remove Ubuntu now?

I installed Linux since I really enjoy the OS, alot more fun than Windows, but the problem is that I cant play any game when I'm bored. So I'm going to install Windows and then install Linux alongside again,
But to do that I need to uninstall Ubuntu, so my question is, how do I do that? I tried to just boot from the Windows CD, but after a while it says that it cant proceed caused by an error that says that my CD/DVD-Rom or my USB is failing or that is isin't connected, cant really remember. But my DVD-rom works perfectly when not running the Windows-CD.
Is this problem caused by that my HDD got EXT4 instead of NTFS?

I have my system set up to dual boot Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala and Windows XP Pro, using GRUB 2 (1.97~beta4) as the boot loader. I want to remove Ubuntu and GRUB 2 from the system and install Windows 7 in a dual boot environment with Windows XP. My concern is to be sure that in the process of removing Ubuntu I do not make my system unbootable by removing or otherwise screwing up GRUB without replacing it with the Windows boot loader.
I read a suggestion saying that the most straightforward way to do what I want is to simply install Windows 7 and, during the install process, select my current Ubuntu ext3 partition as the Windows 7 system partition. The suggestion said the Windows 7 install process would overwrite the MBR with the Windows boot loader, effectively uninstalling GRUB 2. The Windows boot loader will find the existing XP installation and give me a choice between Windows 7 and XP at boot time. Does that scenario sound right? Would it work the way I have described it? (I know I would no longer have Ubuntu. That is OK; I intend to reinstall it later.)
For what it is worth, here is my current partition layout:
/dev/hda - 320 GiB internal hard drive
/dev/hda1 - 37.26 GiB ntfs boot (Windows XP)
/dev/hda2 - 18.63 GiB ext3 (Ubuntu 9.10 /root)
/dev/hda3 - 1.69 GiB linux-swap
/dev/hda4 - 240.51 GiB extended

I have a computer which I upgraded to Windows 7. But when I upgraded it, I forgot about the Ubuntu Install Inside Windows partition I had, and when my disc was formatted, it deleted Ubuntu but not the partition. The partition isn't recognized by Windows AT ALL, but when I start it up the boot menu still gives me an option to boot into Ubuntu.

When i turn on my laptop the dell logo comes up, and then it goes to the Windows black "grub" (i have ubuntu and 7), if i click on "Windows 7" it starts, but if i click on "Ubuntu 11.04" it goes to the nice and purple grub that we all know, and i also have two options: Ubuntu or windows. It seems stupid and pointless to have 2 grubs.Is there any way to uninstall Window's black grub so the computer will go direct to Ubuntu's purple grub?

I have been using Ubuntu regularly for about a year and although it has it's problems I have been touting it's strengths. One of which is not having to worry about viruses and spyware. Some of my friends want to try Linux because they are tired fighting viruses and spyware and the lengths & expense they have to go to protect their system. These people are on the low end of experience with Windows so I was wondering if Kubuntu would be a better choice for them to make the transition. What are your thoughts?

I have always used ubuntu (gnome) desktop � but recently I decided to try Kubuntu (kde).
It has been many years since I last used KDE. And I decided to install it on my laptop; thus running KDE and Gnome side-by-side on a 10.10 x64 installation.
I have noticed that KDE looks really slick and that it still is massively more complicate compared to Gnome, this complication does allow for more customisation.
But I am facing some problems particularly with stability.
Every time I boot into KDE, it crashes complaining about window decorations. I am using a T410 lenovo.

I am trying to share files between my Kubuntu and Windows Machines. I have tried reinstalling samba 3 times with different guides and trying non-stop for 3 hours. I now see my Kubuntu folders I want to share but when i click on them it asks for a password. I have tried many passwords but they dont work. Also with the printer on the other Xubuntu machine in the other room, I can access the files on that one but i cannot print from the printer as i can in Kubuntu without a problem.

I just bought a Dell 537s machine and configured it for dual boot of Windows 7 and Kubuntu 9.10. On my old dual boot machine I had the Windows System and the Linux System on different disk partitions. That way I could write fstab in such a way as to make the Windows System read-only as seen from Linux, so Linux couldn't mess up any Windows System files (and since Windows can't read ext3, Windows couldn't mess up the Linux System).
But the new machine came with Windows 7 installed and gobbling up 3 primary partitions. Kubuntu installed itself in such a way that Linux can read/write to the Windows System. This makes me nervous that Kubuntu might be able to mess up Windows 7.
Is there any way to make specific Windows 7 directories/files unwriteable as seen from Linux without altering their behavior in Windows 7?
