Deleting complete Ubuntu partition by Windows 7 disk

Question

I installed Ubuntu 12.4 version on my Dell desktop and I want to delete Ubuntu completely and install a fresh version of Windows 7.

I have tried googling but didn't find the proper information.

Solution 1

If you will have ONLY Windows forever, then you might just delete all existing partitions (or keep the recovery one, if you have and want) and automatically create a partition in the new unallocated space. Windows 7 installer will setup everything accordingly and you are good to go!

Solution 2

Ok, so you want to delete ubuntu, right ? Well, for one that loves Ubuntu I see no reason in deleting it but anyway. Here is a post on the AskUbuntu forum that I think could help.

This is another post that I think could also help you

I hope it helps.

He shouldn't have any problems as the installer will fix MBR after creating partitions. I have never had any problems with it.
