[LINUX_Newbies] Re: Installing Linux on XP machine

 

If it was me I would make sure any files I wanted to save were backed up on removable media then I would delete the Windows partition and make it a Linux partition, format it, then mount it in my Linux filesystem. Another thing you can do is grow your Linux partition over the Windows partition with gparted. That might be your simplest solution there.

Or if you do not have much invested in your setup now and figure you can reinstall it easily enough you can just install again and completely use the entire disk this time around. Of course after backing up any important files you wish to save. Because if you back files up things will go smoothly and you won't need those backups. If you don't, then who knows what might happen?

Anyways try gparted out, it is probably exactly what you want to do.
