Hi all,

I was wondering if someone can explain me how to uninstall ubuntu.

Before everyone grabs their torches and pitchforks, I am not changing ubuntu for something else :D.
Allow me to explain; I have an eee pc (4gb+16gb) I first installed my os on the 4 gb drive, but as it seems that it is a bit too small, I decided to install it on my other hard drive (16gb) but now I am in the situation where I have two os'... being ubuntu and ubuntu:confused:

Any help would be appreciated
(and if someone could explain me how I shouldve handled this situation, it wouldn't hurt :)

Uninstalling is as simple as deleting the unwanted ubuntu partitions. If you reinstalled grub with the new ubuntu, you might have to remove the lines for booting the old install from the /boot/grub/menu.lst. How you handled the situation so far, is as good as any, especially if you need to retrieve data from the old system.
