AI Thread Summary
It is possible to delete the Ubuntu Netbook Remix partition and restore the free space to Windows XP. Since there is no recovery disk available for XP, using a partition management tool like GParted is recommended. GParted can be installed via the command line in Ubuntu with the command "sudo apt-get install gparted." After installation, the partition can be safely deleted and formatted to FAT32 or NTFS, noting that this action will erase all data on the partition. Users experiencing bugs with Ubuntu Netbook Remix may also consider trying the desktop version as an alternative.

I recently installed ubuntu netbook remix on my newly bought netbook to try it out. I created a new partition on my HDD from the free disk space to install ubuntu on. So right now I have dual boot ubuntu and windows xp. The ubuntu netbook remix turned out to be more buggy than I thought and I'm trying to delete the partition and restore the freespace back to windows xp. Is this possible? I don't have a recovery disk for xp since my netbook doesn't have an optical drive. Does anyone have any possible solutions? Anything would be helpful right now.

If you would post the bug in Ubuntu...maybe we can fix it.

Alternatively you can try the desktop version.

You can safely delete the partition and format it in fat32/ntfs (notice, this will delete all data in the partition).

Use gparted for this (in ubuntu commandline with the net connected) -

sudo apt-get install gparted
 
In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
