If you need more space you have to delete windoz :-)

But if you still need windoz, go out and buy a new HD.

If you really want to delete Ubuntu, you just can use the windoz 
partition tool to turn the linux partition into a NTFS or FAT partition 
and format it. But then the GRUB bootloader will not work anymore -> you 
can not boot anymore. So, you have to get the windoz MBR back!
Boot your box with the windoz install CD and go into recovery mode. You 
should get a shell and then use fixmbr (I don't remember if it is really 
called fixmbr, but the command help will show you) to install the windoz 
MBR. Now the box should boot right into windoz.

Hope you will come back to Linux (Ubuntu) some time, Thomas
