How do I uninstall Edgy Eft?

[xray]

I tried to install Kubuntu partitioned on my hard drive alongside Windows XP, and I got fed up trying to partition, so I had the Kubuntu CD erase my hard drive and install Kubuntu.

After playing with Kubuntu a little, I'm totally frustrated with it and trying a new operating system is too over my head and I'd like to install Windows back on it. Maybe I'll try ising Mandrivs instead and make sure I partition next time.

I have three Windows ME Restoration CDs that I got when I purchased this PC six years ago from Gateway. I have to start with disc #2 to install.

I put the CD into the drive and kept pressing F2 at start up so I could get the message to go to Windows or Install Windows. I picked 'Automatic Installation' and during 'Image Restoration Status', I got this message:

EMM386 has detected error #C3 in an application at memory address 00B8:08DB. To minimize the chance of data loss, EMM386 has halted your computer. For more information, consult your documentation.

To restart your computer, press enter

I'm guessing that I have to first get rid of Kubuntu.


I tried erasing it with DBAN which is an ISO file, but I couldn't successfully burn it to a disc. I tried burning it on with ISO Recorder and it kept eating my discs and I tried burning it with CD Burner XP (which DBAN recommends) and it kept telling me I didn't have an empty CD in my burner (I tried several different CDs).

Does anyone know how I can do this? I want to put Windows ME that I have from Recovery discs on it and then install my Windows XP upgrade over that.

Did you completley delete windows before installing ubuntu? You need to download a win 9x /me boot disk (floppy) boot off it and run
fdisk /mbr
you should be able to boot your windows installation. If you are trying to re-install from a cd you should be able to do that too.

Hold on you say you have XP installed on there? if so boot off your XP cd then select the recovery console. Run the following commands: fixboot and fixmbr in that order. If you completley deleted windows then use the info from my first post. alternatively you could leave ubuntu on there and dual boot???
