    I need to bring my AAAo 150 machine back to XP defaults. I have repartitioned and created 2 ubuntu partitions. So I have the system recovery, windows, unbuntu, and linux swap partitions. I want to get back tot he system recovery and windows partition only. It appears that when I boot to system recovery, it only wants to recover to the existing windows partition, not the whole 120G HD.
    Suggestions?

    Make a Parted Magic live USB. Boot from the live USB and use GPartEd to remove the Ubuntu and Swap partitions. Then resize the Windows Partition to fill the remainder of the disk.

    OR

    Install a free edition of a partition manager such as Acronis or Paragon in Windows and use this to remove the Ubuntu partitions and resize the Windows partition.

    THEN

    Boot into the recovery tool and restore Windows to the enlarged Windows Partition
