Hello yoni779,

If I got it right, you have your xp already installed and you encountered troubles when you installed your ubuntu? Is that correct?

Can you uninstall your ubuntu first? Maybe we can try to install it again and try to make a double boot for you to enjoy

no dude thx for the offer but i have already uninstalled ubuntu i deleted the ext3 partion i just want my windows back and than i'll try with your help to dual boot

[coopstah13]

boot up windows CD to recovery mode and run fixmbr command to put windows bootloader back, otherwise download supergrubdisk and use it to install windows bootloader

After doing coopstah13's instruction, can you also tell us also the specs of your HD? Like, how much is the total size GB of your hard disk. And perhaps if you have partitioned it, how is it divided? Like, how much you have alloted to Windows and perhaps you might have a separate partition for your data, kindly include it also.

Thank you!
