Are you having trouble booting from CD's?

If you are, try booting to a bootable flash drive.

If you aren't, try using the ubuntu live cd/flash drive to get to the partition editor and delete the linux partition or format the entire drive.

i think your having trouble because of the grub boot menu, you need to boot from a XP CD, then go into the repair command prompt, and type fixmbr then restart the system

i tried booting from a cd. but it wont get there. i know what you are telling me to do. but the simple fact is that i never get the boot from cd option. i have a windows 7 cd...im assuming i can use that instead? my boot order is fine, but i dont get the prompt.

i think the guy earlier was saying boot menu meaning that you hit f12 or whatever when you see the bios screen and it gives u a choice of what to boot from.... not changing the boot order in the bios.
