Before you all think I am crazy and unpleasent words cross your mind about this question please read it all the way.

I have 2 laptops and my work one which is a dell vostro 1700 with sata drives, I dual partitioned the hard drive with xp and susie. I want to get rid of the linux partition and open up the space so I can reallocate it for xp. (Yes many of you are probably groaning now and hey it is what I need to do.)

But I have setup my second laptop to be a linux system. In doing this I figured that there was no apparent or logical reason for me to work off of 2 different versions of linux.

Can someone please direct me to the best way of removing my linux partition without having to go through a complete reinstall of xp.

Is it at all possible for this to be done, and if so HOW?

Task B1 or B2 of last link in my signiture refers.

Once you get XP booted just nuke the Linux partition with disk Management, accessible by

left click My Computer &
right click Manage/storage/disk Management

Boot with your XP disk and load emergency recovery console. At the prompt
type fixdisk /mbr this will load a fresk copy of the XP bootloader preserving your partition table.

Thanks for the information. Worked great.
