I had a dual boot setup with XP and Ubuntu 7.10. I use GRUB bootloader. Now I want to install Ubuntu 8.04 and make use of Wubi. I know i can use GParted to delete the linux partition and expand the XP partition to use the extra space. I think I may lose GRUB when I delete the linux partition.

My question is how do I reinstall the XP bootloader so that I can boot into XP and install 8.04 with Wubi? Can I use another bootloader? What is the best (safe) way to expand the XP partition and install 8.04 through XP?
