Jump to PostHow did you install it?
Did you use Wubi(installed alongside windows)
or did you partition the hard drive
I think its a lot easier to remove if Ubuntu just runs with your current system

Basically, you need to restore the master boot record. Here are a couple of links that help:

1.)Boot the windows repair/installer cd and chose the command line. Enter FixMbr and if it doesn't work then enter Bootrec.exe/FixMbr
2.)boot to windows and use the default partition manager to delete the partitions where the linux is installed.

There's a way to recover the MBR by using lilo but you'll need to execute it before uninstalling linux ubuntu. If you have uninstall, then you'll need to boot linux by live cd mode or through flash drive. Then install lilo from teerminal and execute the string.
