I have two hard drives in my Linux box, which is a converted Windows XP machine. My primary HDD is an 80 Gig Western Digital that appears to be working fine. The system boots from it O.K.
The second drive is a 4 Gig Fujitsu that has an old copy of Red Hat 7.0 (Guiness) installed on it that I accessed by booting from a floppy. It's been on the drive for several years, and I haven't used it in that amount of time.
My problem is that GRUB sees my Kubunto server, but it also sees four partitions with Red Hat Guiness on them. I have tried to use gparted to delete and reestablish the partitions on this HDB drive, and to reformat it as ext3, but I can't mount it, and the Red Hat partitions still show up at boot time.
I would like to make this drive usable to kubunti, and to get rid of the Red Hat entries on the GRUB Boot Menu. So far, I have been able to find no documentation to tell me how to do that safely without affecting the HDA drive that contains my Kubuntu installation. Any thoughts?
