Hello, im new to ubuntu , well linux in general really. I had ubuntu install as a dual boot with xp and everything was going fine until i gave in to a guy at works request to try SUSE out.
After installing suse (on second hard drive) i could not get back to ubuntu kept getting error 15 (i think). So i wipped suse out using my Ubuntu Live Cd, but is still wouldnt boot in, so i just reinstalled ubuntu to my second hard drive ( where suse was) but now i have 2 ubuntus and i only want 1 , can i remove the second ubuntu on my second drive without it stuffing with my Grub ( i think thats what the booter is called) ????
Just be warned im not very capable using the terminals yet, so please make it wasy for me.
Thanks

Ubuntu usually uses grub from the last installed version, so you should be safe to delete the first ubuntu installation.
