Hello
I've had a dualboot XP/kubuntu running for almost a year now but I've hardly ever used XP during that time so yesterday I used gparted and cleared that partition (not sure that was wise/correct but I got a suggestion it was 'ok' way). Now I would like to remove the WinXP in the grub menu.lst and I just want to make sure I don't screw things up (better safe then sorry)
I've read the GRUB how-to Section 4, could I just remove the windows section in the menu.lst? or comment out the Windows section with #?
Am I wrong or wouldn't it be quite harmful since the windows partition is the first on the drive ?
HD 'looking' like this (according to gparted - diff. in blkid though)
[ ::::: Ext4(clean-former XP)::::::] [::::::Ext3(KubuntuOS)::::::] [::swap::]
Edit; oh and I've done a copy of the /grub/menu.lst
.. and I want to be able to say that I'm completely windoze free
