Do you have the discs from your OS? A backup you can restore from? I assume you have the product key on a sticker on the bottom of your case?

If all this is gibberish to you, and just want someone to take care of it for an affordable price, send me a PM, I do this kind of thing on the side and can give you the super CP discount.
Thanks Rathji! Somewhat gibberish, but not quite...lol

To clarify, I didn't actually install Ubuntu - "trying" it from the USB drive.

So...don't think I necessarily wiped all my data (some of it I was hoping to save).

I have the two "Dell Recovery" discs and a "Dell Repair Disc - WIndows 7 64 bit".

Product sticker still in tact.

Any suggestions on how to proceed? (I'm willing to try on my own, but would be quick to pass it over to someone with the true know how like yourself.)
