Sorry you are stuck with Ubuntu forever!

Try <esc> or <F10>. Not all Samsungs use <F2>.

i know for a fact it was f2 for getting into the bios the question is not how to get into the bios its how to remove ubuntu after searching google im not the only one with this issue

Removing Ubuntu is easy. You format your hard disk and install whatever OS you want to use; most OSs let you do the formatting as part of the install process. If it's Windows make sure that you have all the drivers for your computer before starting.

There is no way that Ubuntu blocks access to the BIOS. If you can't get into it then either you are pressing the right key at the wrong time or you are pressing the wrong key.

i have accessed the bios and installed os on this computer before i know how to get to the bios when under normal conditions

i removed the original win 7 HDD and installed an SSD for Ubuntu then i installed Ubuntu via CD iso after not wanting to use ubuntu anymore i tried to re install windows via CD when i use the windows cd it goes to Ubuntu load screen and loads Ubuntu so i reboot when im on the samsung screen i hit F2 that is what i hit before when i had to change the boot order to load Ubuntu from disk i dont get bios screen i get a choose load screen with ubuntu being the only option so i turned off the pc and replaced the ssd with the original win 7 OS HDD that was shipped with the laptop and has its original factory os when i go to turn on laptop i get a screen that say choose load and Ubuntu is the only option when i click it i get endless boot cycle. This morning i took my laptop apart and removed the watch battery for the bios memory to try and reset everything still got the same result it wont boot to Ubuntu it wont boot to windows and it wont find the Disk drive or any usb with iso files

Well, I can only suggest that you contact Samsung. They will probably want to know the model of your computer to be able to give a sensible answer.

Sounds like this laptop may have a small SSD in it that's used as a fast cache, and for some reason is the first boot device. I agree with Ijack, Samsung is the place to go for this one.

Thank you all for your help as far as samsung is concerned its bricked and if i want it fixed i need to send it in and pay them some ungodly amount of money going to just buy a new laptop with better specs for the same price

I have had a similar problem getting to BIOS with Ubuntu installed on SSD. The problem is that SSD boots so quickly you have to be super fast pressing your BIOS access key (F2/DEL/etc). Just keep trying. Does your laptop have an optical drive? Another option would be to use a Windows DVD and see if it boots automatically.

i get the prompt for bios hit f2 and then it just reboots cant get into bios just the samsung screen i even pulled the bios battery out from the mobo for now to see if it will reset it and replaced the ssd with the original hdd with no avail to getting it fixed gonna shelf the laptop for now dont want to throw it away yet its a newer series 9 samsung and look into getting a new laptop something with a bit more power then an i3 my samsung is

I googled your issue and it looks like people are having trouble with Samsung UEFI laptops and Linux. It may have something to do with enabling Fastboot in BIOS.

In any case, you may well have bricked your laptop. It looks like people are returning theirs to Samsung for new motherboard.
