HELP!, cant install vista over ubuntu by duck! on 06-06-2007 at 03:50 PM
i decided to scrap ubuntu for vista, but when i go to select clean install and it tells me what partition i want to install on, but i only have 1 but it says it windows vista cannot install because the drive has to be formatted in NFTS (or something like that 
) any ideas?
Also i tried to format with the vista disk as well, doesnt work =/
EDIT: deleted the partition in gparted, installing now, will report when install 
EDIT 2: Its working now

Is Ubuntu the only OS currently installed on the computer?

BTW duck, I had problems with Windows + GRUB too. Windows takes an extra boot to realise that it doesn't own the MBR. I mentioned this in my post here for new Linux users, and suggested you get a Super Grub Disk, which will fix the problem.
EDIT: PS, what error did you get?
