Hi, I would like to remove Vista64 from my machine. I have a second box that's going to be a Windows only machine and I want my main box to be Ubuntu only. Currently I have three hard drives in the machine, and three OS's

500gb (hd0,0) Vista64 (NTFS)
300gb (hd1,0) main ubuntu64
160gb (hd2,0) test ubuntu64, I test things on this before I try them on the main.

Anyway I want to remove the Vista OS, reformat for ext3 and use it as a music drive for the ubuntu OS's.

Hoping there's an easy way of doing this, any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Edit the Grub menu.lst file - there are literally hundreds of posts already in the forums on this.

I'm sorry for annoying you but I cant find one that pertains to my search criteria, I don't even know what a Grub menu.lst is, let alone how to edit it.

Anyone else out there that doesn't mind helping out a noob?

Maybe even suggest some search criteria that would better help me locate a previous post on this?

thx
