Uninstalling Ubuntu

[Shawn McCuan]

I dont think that you have much experience with Operating Systems.
I would also like to bring something to your attention, have you ever seen
an "Uninstall" option for Windows??? (im not talking about uninstalling
upgrades, the entire OS.)

The only logical way to "uninstall" an operating system is to reformat the
hard drive (or partition) and then re-install another operating system over
it (if you choose.)
