Hi,
my computer specs are as follows:
OSes: Windows XP Pro, Windows Vista RC1, Ubuntu Linux 6.06LTS
Motherboard: ASUS P5ND2-SLI
Processor: Intel Pentium D 830 3.0GHz
Hard Drive: 1x 250GB SATA

Optical Drive: Pioneer DVR-110D DVD-RW
USB: 4x USB 2.0
Sound Card: 7.1 Channel
Ethernet Adapter: Intel 10/100/100 Gigabit
I have a Vista RC1, XP, Ubuntu Linux 6.06LTS triple-boot system. My Windows
Partitions are:
C:/ - (Windows XP) NTFS 100GB
E:/ - (Windows Vista RC1) NTFS 90GB
F:/ - FAT32 10GB
My Linux partitions are:
/dev/sda6 - Linux installation- ext3 format-35GB
/dev/sda7 - linux-swap 5GB
I wanted to uninstall Ubuntu. So is formatting the 2 linux partitions all I
have to do? Will formatting them remove the GRUB bootloader?
That depends where the GRUB bootloader was installed in the first
place. Did you install it to the MBR of your master drive (C) or to
the root of sda6? Ubuntu will usually default to installing GRUB to
the MBR of the master drive. If GRUB was installed to (C), formatting
sda6 and sda7 will not remove it.
