How to uninstall Ubuntu in a UMPC


A friend wants to sell her UMPC, witch has Windows Vista and Ubuntu. The system doesn't have a CD/DVD drive, so how do we remove Ubuntu and restore the mbr to a windows one?

You could boot it to USB, then install over the network. What is the model/brand? Perhaps somebody has already figured this out for you.

The manufacturer must have provided some kind of recovery system. Check that out to recover your old mbr.
