The only reason you would want to hide your IP address is because you want to do something illegal.

Okay if anyone wants to uninstall ubuntu and keep windows xp, heres what you do. First of all you must have a windows xp cd, I here most new computers come with a reinstall cd (mine did anyway), so this is what you need. If not, i'm sure you can get a bootleg copy from somewhere.

(1) Go here and download gparted for free http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ , its a partition manager or ask someone for a partition manager or any partition manager you can get your hand on will do.

(2) I assume you want to get rid of ubuntu totally, so the first thing you do is stick in your windows cd and boot from the cd.

(3) When the cd is fully started, you should at some point get a prompt to press R for recovery, do this.

(4) Choose your disk drive, stick in your administrator password (Just press enter if you have no administrator password)

(5) Then type in the command fixmbr

(6) It will let you know know its done by saying something like new master boot loader written blah blah blah and maybe also ask you something like are you sure you want to write a new blah blah blah.

(7) When you are done, you should notice that the grub bootloader is gone and your computer boots straight into windows xp. The reason you have to do this all is because if you delete your ubuntu partition immediately, the grub bootloader will still be there and notice, that one of its booting components or whatever is gone and will give you an error 22 message and you won't be able to boot into windows xp (this can be fixed with the fixmbr command).

( Then after using the fixmbr command, stick in the gparted or respective partition manager, use partition manager to delete the ubuntu partition, and tada ubuntu is gone and windows xp present.

Now these instructions assume that you have only 2 Operating systems installed, mainly ubuntu and windows. If you don't, I assume you can edit the grub bootloader so it doesn't go into error state. I don't know how to do it because I have just deleted ubuntu for like the tenth time on my computer because I can't use it proprly, but these are sources that should help with queries.
