I havent really been following this thread, so forgive me if this has
already been tried.  Cant you pull the ubuntu drive, and boot to windows
or at least get a windows command line and try fixmbr then reboot ?

Steve and all:

I was going down the path to uninstalling Ubuntu, when I figured out the
entry into Bios, and got 7.10 loaded from disk.  However in trying to un
install 7.10 I found a number of intresting things online about un
installing 7.10.  First there is a procedure posted to this list by a fellow
named Alexander Duncan
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2006-December/102255.html
There is also a set of instructionfor getting in to Bios of various
manufacturers to get The systems to load from CD at
http://www-mdp.eng.cam.ac.uk/CD/bios.html .  The whole procedure for
uninstalling Ubuntu is quite involved and not very public.  Is there a
reason for this?  It seems to be a bit un user friendly for an OS which is
touted for being user friendly.  Thanks to Karl Larsen who put me on the
right track.

I can do my homework.
