I thought the Ubuntu was a clean install, either as a dual boot or as the
only OS on the drive. I assumed that since several different attempts to
get rid of Ubuntu had been made that all data was already backed up.
Your suggestion to do a system restore might work if Ubuntu is installed on
top of a Windows OS rather than as an independent OS. I don't think that is
the case, but this would not be the first time I was wrong.
