How to delete Linux (Ubuntu) from dual boot (W7)

[Braica]

Hey guys. Well, I've read a few articles, and do I have to delete the partition from disk manager, and then boot with W7 installation CD (which I don't have, alternatives?), where I'll restore the Master Boot Record?

Also, when I installed Ubuntu, I noticed Windows Vista in the boot menu. What's that? This laptop never had Windows Vista.

Cheers!

You can first create a Windows 7 repair disc from within Windows.

Once that is done, delete all of the Linux partitions (using GParted is the best method to do this).

After that, GRUB won't be there, so you need to rebuild the boot manager. Follow this guide to rebuild it.

Put the Windows Vista or Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
Press a key when you are prompted.
Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.
Click Repair your computer.
Click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.
In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Command Prompt.
Type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

Use the Bootrec.exe tool to troubleshoot "Bootmgr Is Missing" issue. If rebuilding the BCD does not resolve the startup issue, you can export and delete the BCD, and then run this option again. By doing this, you make sure that the BCD is completely rebuilt.

To do this, type the following commands at the Windows RE command prompt:

bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup
c:
cd boot
attrib bcd -s -h -r
ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old
bootrec /RebuildBcd

That should get the boot manager rebuilt ad allow you to once again boot into Windows.
