Hello,
I have two installs on the same drive but different partitions. First I installed XBMC live which is based on Ubuntu (I don't know the exact verion but I think it's in the 9.x).
Then I installed full Ubuntu 10.04 on another partition.
Now it uses grub2 off the second partition. I configured it to boot XBMC as default and I've had no issues with it. However in the end I rarely use Ubuntu since this is really HTPC. I thought maybe it would be cool to check emails and do some web browsing on my TV, but it turns out I prefer just using a regular computer for that. So I want to delete the partition, but I'm worried doing so will make the system not boot anymore unless if I reinstall XBMC live, I don't want to do that either since I've got it configured all properly and I don't want to mess that up.
So I believe I have to change the MBR to point to the XBMC partition although I haven't quite figured out how to do that.
Thanks for any help with this.
