Paulo,

So sorry, I gave you the wrong thread link, too much talk and no help
at all, and the gal didn't even have any Windows installed any more.

Any of the links provided by Waleed Harbi may help you. It is only a
matter of restoring the original MBR using the Vista commands. However
I suggest deleting the Ubuntu partitions after restoring the MBR, not
before, in the worst case will still have a functional OS. In case
your Vista can't erase the unwanted partitions I guess this can be
easily accomplished by the partition manager in the Ubuntu Live CD. I
don't know if Vista alone can restore the original partition size,
perhaps you'll have to use a partition manager (after backing up your
system).

(Waleed, thanks for your better answer but please bottom post and no HTML)
