How do you log into ukchatters in ubuntu ?

Sometimes, this may not be the case with you, you need to install things like Java and Adobe and flash before you can use some sites. That has happened to me after a fresh Ubuntu install.

Want to unistall ubuntu 12.04 from hp sleekbook and install windows 8.1. pls help

Assuming you have your windows 8.1 on disks, make sure your HP is set to boot from disk and put disk in and boot your computer up. The windows install should start and you can choose to delete Ubuntu and install windows. Remove any partitions that it displays and choose to install windows on the entire disk. After that just follow the prompts and windows will install.

Download drivers

Hi, you will have to perform a fresh install, unless you chose the NTFS file system while installing Ubuntu. Follow these steps: 0. ...BACK UP IMPORTANT FILES... 1. Have your windows installation media handy, either on a disc or USB, you can also use factory reset on your laptop but only if you did not format your recovery partition. 2. Insert your media and reboot your computer 3. Press any key when prompted to run setup 4. If you don't see the prompt, restart your computer and press F12 to select boot options. Choose your Optical Drive or USB. 4b. Alternatively you can just change your media boot order from the Bios setup. 5. Let windows setup guide you through the install process. Format disk partitions if necessary. 6. Windows setup will run its course, it may restart your computer a few times, which is okay. 7. Once setup completes you will automatically boot into windows to complete activation and set-up user accounts. Thanks, All the best
