    Cant uninstall unbutu! have no xp disc or floppy drive

    Cant uninstall unbutu! have no xp disc or floppy drive
    Thats pretty much my problem.
    I know you're probably saying "Why would he want to uninstall it?"
    well I have my reasons lol. Accidentally partioning 95%(95GB) of my C drive to unbutu and other 5% to windows xp
    wasn't the right way to go ><
    It was the complete opposite. Now I'm stuck in a operating system I know nothing about
    :drown:
    lol. Anyway can I repartion ubuntu? or uninstall it?
    --I have windows xp as my other operating system 5% (5GB),
    --dont have the xp disks. only the Toshiba recovery one (which didnt do anything) so i cant do fdiscmdr??
    --don't have a floppy drive so I can't download microsofts free bootable xp
    If I can get help please be detailed. Like I said I'm stuck in an operating system I know nothing about.
    much much much thanks in advance

    You could get Parted Magic which you can use to remove your Ubuntu partitions. To remove the bootloader, you can use SuperGrub Disk. These are very small live discs, so shouldn't take long to download.

    Boot up from SuperGRUB CD and select 'Fix Windows Boot Loader' option from list. It will remove GRUB and Windows OS will boot up on reboot.
    Type diskmgmt.msc in RUN dialog box of Windows XP. Disk Management Tool window will pop. Delete partitions marked as Unknown.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
