Hi,

I am sorry that you are having such problems with wubi. Most people find that it is easier to install ubuntu straight from the livecd, but other like to try wubi. I would like to know if you can get to your control panel and then to add/remove programs. When you get there, I am curious to see if you have ubuntu listed as a program. Wubi, is supposed to let you install and un-install linux from the control panel. If it is there then you can just uninstall it. However if it isn't there then we are going to have to take a few more steps.

Let me know what you find out and then I can give you some more advice on how to handle either getting rid of ubuntu or getting it back on your machine the correct way.

Cheers!
 
When you installed Wubi, you had to choose a drive to install it on.

Go to that drive, and remove the directory named "ubuntu"
