[ubuntu-us-in] May I ask your adice and assistance???

[Simón Ruiz]

John,

My advice would be to read all the Uninstallation information at the
Wubi Guide, here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#head-7cd5a1eda23f1e9960c28ef3a2f4e8645c5ea87d

In Windows XP, it says you might need to edit your c:\boot.ini file to
get rid of the Ubuntu line in the case that your uninstall process
didn't go quite smoothly.

HTH,

Simón
