okay so awhile back i put ubuntu operating system on my hp dv2000 laptop in replace of the ever hated windows vista. ubuntu was new and i had heard good things about it.
turns out ubuntu isnt very user friendly. so now i am trying to take ubuntu off the computer and replace it with vista. vista is the only cd that i have, and i just want ubuntu gone.
only problem is when i put in the vista cd, the archive manager comes up and says abunch of bs that im not understanding. which basicly means its not a readable file type.
i have searched on the ubuntu forums and there are explanations that explain what to do, but none of it seems to work for me or i am not understanding it. i have thaught about using the disk usage tool to delete part of my drive but i have no cd's to back ne thing up with. and i dont wanna end up with a computer where i cant put nothing on it after i delete the drive.
the only reason i wanna get rid of ubuntu is because it makes downloading alot of stuff difficult. going to the synpatic package manager can be a pain sometimes, but most things i download i cant find in the synaptic package manager. for my nephew i tryed to download swiftkit, a deal for the online game "runescape" but i could not find it in the package manager
i have abit of computer junky in me and with little clear explanations i can do most of what u tell me. plz help me put vista back on my computer ty!
