    Removing Fedora and adding pace to Ubuntu

    I am Currently Triple booting windows xp Fedora and Ubuntu, my grub menu is as follows:

    Code:
    # menu.lst - See: grub(8), info grub, update-grub(8)
    #            grub-install(8), grub-floppy(8),
    #            grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub
    #            and /usr/share/doc/grub-doc/.
    
    ## default num
    # Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and
    # the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.
    #
    # You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default entry
    # is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.
    # WARNING: If you are using dmraid do not use 'savedefault' or your
    # array will desync and will not let you boot your system.
    default        0
    
    ## timeout sec
    # Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the default entry
    # (normally the first entry defined).
    timeout        120
    
    ## hiddenmenu
    # Hides the menu by default (press ESC to see the menu)
    #hiddenmenu
    
    # Pretty colours
    #color cyan/blue white/blue
    
    ## password ['--md5'] passwd
    # If used in the first section of a menu file, disable all interactive editing
    # control (menu entry editor and command-line)  and entries protected by the
    # command 'lock'
    # e.g. password topsecret
    #      password --md5 $1$gLhU0/$aW78kHK1QfV3P2b2znUoe/
    # password topsecret

    How would I proceed to remove Fedora and adding the space gained from that into Ubuntu? My apologies if this answer might be posted somewhere.

    I forgot to mention I have two Hardrives. The first is a TeraByte the other is a 250G.
    Fedora Windows and Ubuntu are all in the Terabyte and the Boot partition is in the 250G

    System -> Administration -> Partition Editor.
    Delete your Fedora partition, format it and then add it to Ubuntu or XP.
    Then
    Code:
    sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
    and delete the Fedora option.

    I deleted the Fedora partition but the option to resize the Ubuntu partition is greyed out, How do I add the unallocated space to Ubuntu

    Oh right, sorry, my fault: you can't perform any changes on your Ubuntu partition while using it (it makes sense, doesn't it?).
    You must boot with a live cd in order to do so.

    I also tried with live cd, I can only shrink the ubuntu partition, it doesn't allow me to grow it even though i Have 130G of free partitioned space

    Are you sure?
    Perhaps you need to move the free space before of after Ubuntu to do this.
    Play a bit and you'll find the solution.

    Re: Removing Fedora and adding pace to Ubuntu

    While eating a chicken patty it suddenly came to me and i finally managed to get it to work.
    What had me confused and stuck was I was trying to resize the ext3 which it wouldn't allow me to do.
    What i realized as I enjoyed my chicken patty was that I needed memory inside of that blue frame( what the ext3 and swap were part of that was dubbed extended) So i resized extended then moved the freespace after the ext3. Only then was i able to resize the ext3 to what i wanted it to be.
