XP -> XP+Vista+Ubuntu -> XP
by arnljot on Feb.20, 2008, under other
When I first bought my Thinkpad it came installed with XP. I soon got Vista for a small fee from Lenovo, and Installed Ubuntu and Vista along with my existing XP partition.
Since I ended up using XP the most, no fault of either Ubuntu or Vista, I just felt most at home with XP since it was what I had used the most. I uninstalled both Ubuntu and Vista today.
Both operations were really easy.
1) Uninstall Ubuntu: Vista Boot CD: Bootrec /fixboot /fixmbr. This removes GRUB so that you can delete that partition…
2) Uninstall Vista: Vista Boot CD: (Boot XP) - “e:\boot\bootsect.exe /nt52 ALL /force”. This will install a normal XP MBR.
So now I delete the Vista and Ubuntu partitions, and expand the XP partition again..
