    hey guys,

    1. I have windows seven installed on my PC. Then later on i installed Kubuntu 10.10 on the Same PC on the same hard Disk. I didn't choose the "Install as Windows File" method to install it. So i can't uninstall it from Control panel.

    2. I can't see its file anywhere in the hard disk through Windows.

    please tell me how can i remove it without affecting windows.

    Thanks.

    If you can't see it from Windows, then you probably installed in onto another partition.

    Insert Windows installation CD. Restart your PC, keep hitting [DEL] key and boot into CD-ROM.

    Delete the other Linux partition.

    1: Look for Linux folder Kubuntu in all hard drive partitions
    2: Delete the folder and you will have a plenty of free disk space

    Done!

    Lol. i tried The method of Deleting the Kubuntu Partition. That completely Screwed me Up. when i rebooted my Pc. I got A grub error.

    So Finally I had to reinstall Windows Vista in that partition. Then i reformatted the Windows Vista drive through Windows 7 Computer area.

    Now all is well at my Pc.

    Thanks to all of you Guys.
