jnalli, could please give us some more information on the subject of you dual booting & how your partitions are setup. Like whats your partition size,filesystem etc!! If you partition your hard disk manually to a separate partition from the one you have windows vista installed on, all you of to do is to download a copy of gpartd or use the live cd of ultimate edition to delete the manual partition and then resize the windows partition to to get back the unallocation disk space!!

Your not helping by asking alot of questions and not providing the requested info. Its seems to be a bug that was also in Ubuntu 8.10. Which was more a permission problem. Please provide the requested information and do the following in the "Termainal":

sudo chmod 1777 /tmp

Then restart your machine. Please post your feedback.

Am not sure how to answer your question regarding the partitions. It's only one hard drive. I had Windows Vista on it. I tried to install Ultimate Edition 2.4 and everything seemed to go ok until it try to boot into it. I was getting the configuration error and having to keep going to ubuntu restore. Now I just want to remove it from my laptop.

Ok. I am going to help you as best of possible in getting your vista back and removing ubuntu [only]

How to remove Ubuntu from a Vista dual-boot config:

On my new PC I wanted (still want) to have to a go with Linux. I chose to experiment with Ubuntu. I downloaded the desktop CD, burned it, freed up some disk space (inside Vista) and loaded up Ubuntu from the CD. After some experimenting I figured out how to install Ubuntu in the empty disk space and it all worked fine (GRUB took over my booting (recognized Vista automatically!) and Ubuntu loaded up fine).

Then I tried to install my GPU drivers and everything went wrong.. For some reason Ubuntu wouldn't boot anymore (failed to load X-Server or something). I was completely lost and wanted to remove Ubuntu.

This is where things start to get really messy!

If you simply remove the Ubuntu partition, GRUB (Linux boot loader) will still be on your PC (in control). It will trip out, as the Ubuntu partition will be removed.. Bad thing!

So you need to restore your Master Boot Record (MBR) for Vista (so that Vista will handle the booting, not GRUB).

Google only pointed me to sites that explained how to REMOVE VISTA, which isn't what I wanted. Many sites talked about the 'fixmbr' command, but this is really only available in Windows XP.

So how do you restore your MBR for Windows Vista?

1. Put the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
2. Press a key when you are prompted.
3. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.
4. Click Repair your computer.
5. Click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.
6. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Command Prompt.
7. Type Bootrec.exe /FixMbr, and then press ENTER.

That's it. Now when you reboot your PC, Vista will load automatically... You can now safely boot using your Ubuntu desktop CD, to use the built in gparted to remove your Ubuntu partition!

Did you type the command just as how i have it? re your question about been able to delete ubuntu partition from within vista, no it cannot be done at least i don't know an don't think its possible. Please try and see if you can get a copy of vista from the internet or a friend and do the above method that is suggested!!
