His question made perfect sense to me...

He said...

1.  Don't tell me a complicated list of things to do.  He said he doesn't 
want to hear "you have to press ESC"..."run fsck"..."do this, that, and the 
other".

2.  He asked "PLEASE tell me how to UNINSTALL Ubuntu".

3.  He obviously wants to wipe out, get rid of, start all over again with XP 
as his only OS and then add Ubuntu.  He *said* that.   All people have to do 
is take the time to *read* what he said and *not* add their own bias or 
interpretation.

Now, most of us know you don't uninstall an OS as there is no such command 
to do that.  Soooo....  What do we do when we want to start over with a 
clean slate?

*That is what he needs to be told*.

The OP made perfect sense....most people just don't know how to read.  :-)
