UNINSTALL Triple Boot System XP, Vista, Ubuntu... UNINSTALL Yes, UNinstall

[OnlyCurious]

Wow, haven't been on here FOREVER! Here is a very basic breakdown of what is happening:

I want to uninstall Vista and Ubuntu.

I installed XP, then Vista, then Ubuntu. So the sequence at boot time is, GRUB tells me to choose Ubuntu or Windows, once I choose Windows, I get a choice between XP or Vista.

Ok, so I want to get rid of Vista and Ubuntu. How can I do this? I feel like the MBR will get messed up if I delete the Ubuntu and Vista partitions. Is there a certain way I have to go about deleting the Ubuntu and Vista partitions?

Worst case scenario would be losing all my data on Windows XP and having to just reinstall XP.

Boot with the XP CD. Delete the Vista and Ubuntu Partitions. Format the Ubuntu Partition. Exit out of install process. Restart again with CD in place. Go to XP CD Recovery Console. fixboot and fixmbr commands on the System so that XP will boot.

This will be the best thing to do.

Thanks, I'll give it a try after I do a backup and have the guts to go through with this. I have about 320GB of data I would hate to lose... lol.

run this within windows xp before you restart the computer after deleting the other 2 partitions.

RestoreMBR.exe
