I've a system with this configuration : - Dell Vostro 1015 laptop built Sept 2011 - Intel Core2 Duo processor @ 2 Ghz frequency - 64-bit memory - 320 GB HDD - integrated graphics - WiFi & bluetooth enabled

I'm currently using Windows 7 Ultimate OS since I bought it. I'm fed up of using Windows 7 on my system (& Windows 8 wont work !) so I wanted to install Ubuntu 12.04. I've 2 questions :

  • If I install it in partition with my current OS, and then after some time, if I need to remove Ubuntu from the system (without removing windows), will I get back all the HDD memory used by the Ubuntu OS and make it accessible to the Windows system (again) ?

  • Can I use both the Operating Systems in such a way that I can access the hard disk data equally among both the OSes, that is, I can access the same HD data by both the OSes ?

(P.S. : I don't want to use Virtual OS software)

Thanks in advance !

Well rather than uninstalling it, I'd delete the partition, to make it free space, and then expand the Windows partition into it, so yes, you could.

Unfortunately Ubuntu uses the ext4 file system, and windows uses the nfts file system. You could (theoretically) access between them, but I'm not sure how good Windows is with ext.
