I really wanted to try out something different then Windows 7. So I installed Ubuntu and I have no clue on how to work it. I’m totally lost and have been trying to go back to windows by using the windows disc I made my recovery of, and its not working like Im trying. I have a Toshiba Satellite L655-S5096 windows 7 64 bit.

I have been trying to run different disc also like the rescue cd,dban 2.2.8, Dariks Boot and Nuke, to name a few..I guess Im so use to windows commands and cant get a grip on how to delete this so I can do a clean install of my Windows 7.

Could anyone please help walk me through deleting Ubuntu and installing windows back on here.

This depends on how you install Ubuntu. It could be actually because the boot for Windows 7 is actually locate in Windows RE partition instead of the main C: drive. I wonder this may help, but you can try to use Live CD or Live USB to determine your Windows RE partition still exist, and you might want to disable the grub.

To my knowledge, Windows RE partition is hidden in Windows, but when I use Linux to detect the partition, it usually located in dev\sdX3 or 4, (For Windows 8, the boot is somehow in a FAT32 partition), if grub is installed in sdX1 partition, your computer will read the grub and enters grub.

Hope this gives a wee bit information to help you further your quest of solving your answers.
