I was trying to install ubuntu 13.04 on a mini notebook acer, but an error occurred while almost completing the installation...
Now it doesn't charge, only if I enter the Windows 7 partition.
How do I start the process?
Or can I uninstall the ubuntu to start again to install it?
Thank you in advance for your answers.

*Yes.* You can re-install Ubuntu, replacing your earlier attempt (and still leaving Windows 7 intact). This is a standard option, in the install process. – david6 Jun 30 '13 at 12:29

Here are the steps you need to take to safely uninstall Ubuntu from a dual-boot setup:
- Boot into your Live CD for Ubuntu
- Start a Terminal session with Ctrl+Alt+T
- Type
gksudo gpartedand hit Enter - Delete your Ubuntu partitions (you should have two, the main partition and swap). If you are unsure of which partition is your main Ubuntu partition, type
sudo dfin a Terminal session and hit Enter. It will be the filesystem mounted on "/". - Expand your Windows partition (it should now be the biggest partition) onto the free space by right clicking it and selecting Resize/Move
- Reboot into a Windows CD
- Choose Repair
- Choose Command Prompt
- Type
bootrec /fixmbrand hit Enter - Type
bootrec /fibootand hit Enter - Reboot. Your computer should now boot into Windows XP.
- Profit!
