I want to uninstall ubuntu 15.04 . I dual booted it with windows 8.1. Please help me step by step, how to safely uninstall it...

I dont want to loose any data. I used 2gb as swap area and 13 gb for ubuntu home partition . and will it remove grub also? And yes, I don't have windows 8.1 recovery disk/installation disk. What is 'System Reserved' Drive??? Will it also delete after deleting ubuntu partition?

  • Its shouldn't be deleted if you follow the steps as shown in the link. – Apad121 Apr 26 '15 at 19:41
  • 'System Reserved Drive' is the drive where your Windows folders are kept which are extremely important for Windows – Apad121 Apr 26 '15 at 19:42
  • but it was not there before dual boot... And is easyBCD is safe to use? there is (in your given link) no tutorials for windows 8.1 and ubuntu 15.04. So,i'm little bit worried – Pratim Pramanik Apr 26 '15 at 19:45
  • Don't worry, I have used EasyBCD before, It did look pretty and it worked – Apad121 Apr 26 '15 at 19:47
  • However, be careful NOT TO DELETE MORE THAN YOU NEED TO IN EASYBCD MENUS, Plus don't try to fix EasyBCD when it is working. – Apad121 Apr 26 '15 at 19:48
  • I will be happy to help you with that – Apad121 Apr 26 '15 at 19:48
  • I tried WIndows 8 and Ubuntu 13.10 with it a while back – Apad121 Apr 26 '15 at 19:48
  • Okay, and write to MBR and and the next step is enough to fix the boot? then i have to delete the partition .. and then i can directly boot into windows,, GRUB menu will not show then , right?

    Actually i'm so immature so asking ques a lot , dont mind

  • Well, supposedly or you can use a recovery drive which you can find online. – Apad121 Apr 26 '15 at 19:52
  • I will recommend making a recovery USB from Windows and you can go into start-up repair and it will restore the original boot loader for you http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows-8/create-usb-recovery-drive. You could try to write to MBR. However, Easy BCD is the tool for Dual booting rather than for just one system. – Apad121 Apr 27 '15 at 20:27
