I have a Gateway laptop and I installed Ubuntu 13.10, and I want to revert back to Windows. I didn't do the dual boot option, just to let you know. Can anyone help me out?

  • Boot ubuntu live-disk or gparted live-disk.If you boot ubuntu live-disk,you need to install gparted.Connect to the internet,Open up the terminal and run the below command to install gparted.

    sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gparted

  • After installation of gparted partition Editor completed,open it from the dash.

  • Then rightclick on the partition which contains Ubuntu os and select Fortmat To option then format it to ntfs filesystem.So that the windows os will be installed on that partition.

enter image description here

  • Then boot windows live-disk,and select custom option (to choose in which partition does the windows os is going to be installed) then install the windows os on the formatted ntfs partition.That's all.

  • Note: Backup your precious datas before uninstalling ubuntu.

If you haven't told Ubuntu to delete everything and use the whole drive, try using the built in recovery before dabbling in partition editing.
