Thread: 7.10 to 9.10 + delete Windows Vista + keep XP


hi. i'm going major upgrade weekend , have questions.

current config one:
-kubuntu 7.10 (/home separated / , both ext3)
-windows xp in partition
-windows vista in partition.

when system boots up, grub loads; can choose between windows , linux. if choose windows, boot manager (windows vista's boot manager, not xp's ntldr) loads, , can choose between windows vista , windows xp.

i'd is: remove vista system, , have simple grub startup let me choose between kubuntu 9.10 , xp.

safest way proceed?

here do:

1) data partitions external drive (then remove external drive , put someplace safe).
2) boot kubuntu 9.10 live cd
3) use partition editor delete partitions except xp partition want keep
4) start kubuntu installer. when partitioning stage, either choose "guided: install free space" or "manual" (depending on comfort level)
5) restore documents backup

luck!
