c:fixmbr or c:\WINDOWS>fixmbr
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
4q)i want remove ubuntu ,i want only windows back(it should work properly)

what to do
any help

You clearly have messed up your mbr, get a windows cd and fix it.

According to the initial post, that has already been done - did you read it ?.

Presuming fixmbr was run successfully, you should be seeing the XP boot menu, not Ubuntu. How are you booting Ubuntu ?.
How many hard disks do you have ?.

If you knew about "fixmbr", why did you bother with ms-sys - and why didn't you read that thread properly ?. ms-sys writes a generic MBR in cases where a Windows option is not available. Using it on a partition overwites the beginning of the partition - that is your problem. If you are lucky you may be able to fix it from Recovery console using fixboot.
Or maybe not.

His 'or' between the link and the mentioned options was what confused me.

hi all
thanks for reply

i done fixmbr,in console windows xp cd

it works greatly
thanku

If you can boot Ubuntu, you can try these commands,
sudo os-prober
sudo update-grub

If they don't work then post output of
fdisk -l

Maybe someone can help you afterwards.

Sorry didn't see post #5
