Hi guys. I've had Ubuntu and XP installed on my machine for quite some time now, and finally, I find that I never use Windows. Problem is, i've mucked around with partitions, done re-installs of each OS at different points, and have two hard-drives...

Basically, I think that on the Windows partition is the boot loader, so if I simply delete the Windows partition, i'll screw up the boot process. Can you point me in the right direction as to how to figure out what to do next?

Boot from the live cd and reinstall GRUB again.
