If you do not want any OS except Windoze, Get to a command prompt through a
bootable disk and type ¨fdisk /MBR " with out the quotes. This will repair
the master boot record. Then reboot and Windozes will boot with no Grub
intervention. After this you will need to repartition the hard drives that
had Ubuntu installed on them using fdisk or some other partitioning
software. This will rid your computer of Ubuntu. If you decide to reinstall
any distro of linux make sure it is the correct version for your
architecture and you use a correctly burned CD/DVD ISO image.
Hope this helps.
