I have a usb with my windows ISO loaded and ready. Problem is there is no ntfs partition on my hard drive for windows to load onto. I don't want to complicate things by running 2 operating systems. I’d like to go back to windows. I like Ubuntu more but I have no clue what I’m doing. I’m not a programmer.

I’ve tried booting from my usb with windows 7 loaded on as well as a CD with vista ultimate. Neither gave me an option to repair my drive. Both have the option to delete partition, and the CD gave me the option to format partition. The formatting failed and I’m afraid to delete the partition because I don't know what to do if I delete Ubuntu and the drive remains in ext4 format. Please help.

The first thing is that this is not the right place to ask this question. This is Ubuntu Forum and not Windows Forum and this question should be placed in Windows Forum if there is any.

Another piece of valuable information is Ubuntu is not for developers. It is for everyone. My dad who is 65 uses this and he is comfortable with Ubuntu than Windows. I still recommend you should continue to use Ubuntu and not to switch back to Windows.

To answer your question, if you have a Ubuntu live CD or USB, you should boot it with that, run gparted from there, then delete the partitions. Then you can create NTFS partitions from there. Once you restart, windows should able to read the partitions.

NOTE: If Windows bootable USB still do not recognize your hdd, then you will left with no OS on the system. You have been warned.
