Okay here's the story. After removing Ubuntu from my xp it won't boot normally anymore! I tried out the installer from Wubi installer to install it.It appeared pretty simple,but after the installation was complete and having the choice to boot to windows or Kubuntu I chose Kubuntu it wouldn't run. I got aggravated with it and decided to uninstall Kubuntu(version).I used revo uninstaller and it uninstalled fine and i can't find any traces on my computer,however when i restart the computer it continues to say which system to choose Windows xp or Kubuntu.It's not the end of the world,but i'm not happy with it. Any ideas on how to get windows to boot normally?

You have to fix your boot record. Here are a few leads: http://www.howtogeek.com/forum.....?replies=3
It actually works "as designed". You just have to understand a lot of little intrinsic things to get thru it. With Ubuntu you have the problem that the Grub takes over and controls the booting. Next time you want to play with Linux, use a virtual partition. Then you only have to delete 2 folders when you want to get rid of it. That's the system with the least interference. A while ago I have written some instruction on how to do that - you find them here. Use Virtual Box - it works best. You can install directly from the .iso. Give Ubuntu 500MBs of RAM and 15GB of disk space. That should do it. And then you can switch between your host and ubuntu with 1 click.
The little tutorial was written with Windows7 in mind - but it works just as well with Linux. I was using it with Ubuntu myself.
whs. From the VMare site (under FAQs) for VMware player,
"VMware Player is free for personal non-commercial use. VMware Player is only distributable with written permission from VMware. Please apply here to request a distribution agreement."

It's well worth a try.
