In a moment of madness I installed Ubuntu on my laptop and removed Windows so no duel boot option. Now regretting this is it possible to reinstall Windows 7 back onto the laptop and remove Ubuntu?

Does it not have a recovery partition still ? Or did you sadly suggest use the whole disk and re-format the whole thing? If it has a W7 COA sticker then you could re-install(and ND is the expert for that)..... But in a moment of drunken stupor I always back up first , that way I never get caught since I can't wait for the backup and leve it til tomorrow.
