Hello, Recently I installed Ubuntu on my HP laptop with Vista. I have since decided to remove it and stupidly deleted the partitions using a program in Vista. I then got a GRUB error and had to reinstall Ubuntu using the LiveCD to be able to boot to either OS. So I have searched around and found out that I need to perform the fixmbr command to restore the master boot record in Vista. Then I could safely remove Ubuntu? However I do not have a Vista CD, it came pre-installed and have no idea what to do as everything that I have read has told me to use a CD that I do not have. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rick

Where ever you purchased your computer, suggest you return to them and request the Vista DVD. Even pre-installed computers come with either a copy of Vista or a Restore CD. If that is not possible, then suggest you purchase one. Without the Vista DVD, you will not be able to do what you want to do.

Good Luck...
