removing gOS is a two part process: 1) Removing the EXT3 and swap partitions used by gOS, and using the freed space to resize the Windows partition back to the whole disk.
2) Repairing the boot sector so that it contains the Windows boot sector, not the GRUB loader. You have done the first, although you do not say if you recovered the used space (resized the Windows partition) To do the second, for Windows Vista, there is a YouTube video explaining the process here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nqvCQd3bLI note that the maker of this movie did NOT bother to regain the space used by Ubuntu/(gOS) he only cared tho make booting it impossible. To complete the task he should have also resized the windows partition. There are many other ways to put back the boot sector (first sector of the hard-disk), it can even be done with a Linux Live_CD, but I leave that to you, google is your friend.
