You need to edit your bootloader, which for Ubuntu is GRUB. http://www.linux.com/articles/62434 : Are you trying to remove ubuntu from your machine entirely?

That's different. You need to reclaim the harddrive partition that holds Ubuntu and repair the master boot record (mbr). http://quainttech.blogspot.com/2007/05/how-to-remove-ubuntu-from-vista-dual.html

I forget the command, but XP/Vista have a command to restore the Windows boot loader.

Sometimes real fast is almost as good as real time. Remember, Google is your friend!

Want to delete it entirely,you can format the partition ,and then repair the loader with a vista boot cd. Vista, commonly damn thing. 要完全删除,可以格式化ubuntu的分区,然后用vista的修复盘修复vista的引导。 vista确实是个damn的东西。~~
