How do i boot from windows disk while running ubuntu netbook
hi im a bit new to ubuntu and understand that i ahve to boot it from the command like an executable but i dont know how to exactly and when i thought i had it figured out i didnt know how to write the name of the file in the disk ubuntu just kept saying file or directory not found
I did not quite get your issue. Are you trying to boot into windows while running linux? Or are you trying to read files from a windows disk? Normally it is not possible to start another operating system from another one.
im running a computer that has ubuntu installed. i would like to run a windows disk while ubuntu is running. so then i can install windows. i cannot run it during the boot ( for reasons i would not like to get into). so i would like to run the startup.exe file on the windows disk so that i may install windows on the computer and remove ubuntu.

Using Linux to get rid of Linux - in exchange for Windows???
One of three ways. One is use live cd such as barts. Second is to use a virtual machine. Third is to create a dual boot system.
In all cases you would need a legal copy of xp to begin with.

Hi -
I'm a bit new to Ubuntu. My netbook has Ubuntu installed, but I would like to install Windows instead. I have a Windows CD. Do I need to run "setup.exe" from the Windows CD in order to do this?
A:
No. All you need to do is boot from the Windows CD. This will run "setup" automatically. It will also allow you to reformat the entire disk with Windows, completely removing Ubuntu.
