View Full Version : [other] Removing old Xandros for Ubuntu

On my notebook I've got an old Xandros partition on the second drive. The OS went down months ago, and unfortunately I still have the Ext3FS and L-Swap2 partitions and the Xandros boot manager is active on bootup.

I'm afraid to remove the partitions in case I also remove the boot manager and I cannot boot Windows anymore.

I'd like to remove the Linux partitions and the boot manager so that I can then install Ubuntu on a removable drive instead.

I have a Paragon Partition Manager, etc. If anyone cold direct me as to a safe way to remove the Linux Boot menu and partitions without losing my ability to boot Windows, it would be much appreciated.

If I just go in and remove the 2 Linux paritions would that get rid of the Linux Boot Manager and bring up the WIndows Boot manager?

Thanks, Tom
