I know he is better than I am with Windows but I didn't see and read anything during the uninstall. I have no idea how to fix Windows boot but I will look to shorten the time for the computer to boot into windows faster. In the meantime he installed Ubuntu in its own partition. I just had to manually install Ubuntu over the uninstalled Ubuntu [the partition was still here] and everything is working. (He is telling me that first he has the choice between Windows and Ubuntu [certainly from the second installation as Ubuntu is working] then if he selects Windows he again have a choice between windows and ubuntu [which I guessed has been uninstalled] ) That only seems complicated and doesn't disturb him as he knows which one is working and is happy like it is. Oh and anyway he reinstalled Windows without antivirus so I guess the reinstallation won't last one month if he leave it this way. As there is nothing in the computer that is not a problem, just a learning curve. I guess he is not really interested in security yet or he would have done something or ask.. Thanks for the help Meg </div></div>
