I have installed Ubuntu on my laptop and now I want to remove it and the Grub Loader. How I can do it without the Windows installation disk (I cannot use the Recovery Console).

This is really important. The first time I tried to do this I got an unbootable computer. – D'Arvit Jun 28 '10 at 10:46

You can download a windows recovery disk to do this for you here: http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ There's a disk available for Windows Vista and Windows 7.

Download, burn and boot it. Open up the recovery command prompt and execute the following:

Bootrec.exe /fixboot
Bootrec.exe /fixmbr

Then restart the computer and remove the linux partition from disk management in Windows and format the free space to NTFS.
