I've downloaded Ubuntu application on my computer (Windows) to put it on a pen drive and install Ubuntu on an other computer. Then I've installed Ubuntu on this other computer and everything was all right with this one. But then I started the first computer and Windows had disappeared, and instead the computer started Ubuntu! I didn't install Ubuntu on this computer, I've just downloaded the application. I want to access Windows. What can I do?

Do you have the flash drive plugged into the first computer? If you do, shutdown the computer and unplug the flash drive. Then turn the computer back on. – Seth Jan 8 at 22:22

What is your primary boot option? Are you sure you haven't installed Ubuntu on this PC? Did at any point during your Ubuntu install the question: Install along side Windows? How many partitions do you have? – bioShark Jan 8 at 22:38

Do you have your flash drive plugged into computer one? If you do it might automatically boot into Ubuntu.

If your flash drive IS plugged in:

  1. Turn off the computer.

  2. Unplug the flash drive

  3. Turn the computer back on, you should boot into Windows.
