I thought linux users were supposed to be all high and mighty and extremely tech savvy...so much for that. May as well own a mac.

I am tech savvy, but I don't have much experience with linux, so I was hoping someone with some experience would help me.

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="YOUR OS HERE" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

Right click my computer and go to advanced and click startup and recovery and click edit. it will be at the top. Remove anything that deals with ubuntu

Download the Gnome partitioning thing (.iso) and burn it to a disk. Then run it and delete the Ubuntu thing.
