Deleting partition help!

[RobMunfy]

Hi guys,

I currently have XP dual booting with Linux (Ubuntu) and want to delete the linux partition.

My partitions look like this:

But I don't know what the

(*) 27GB Extended

and

(*) 486MB Unallocated

rows are?

I assume that I want to delete the Linux Ext3 partition. Do I also need to delete the 27GB partition? Will I then need to resize the other partitions to use that space?

Thanks, Rob

Right, I've managed to delete the linux partitions and after no end of trouble with the GRUB boot loader, i've got it so that only Windows will boot now.

As per screenshot earlier, could anyone recommend a free program that i can use to resize the D:\ hard drive to utilise that unallocated space.

I only have the trial version of PartitionMagic and it won't let me continue!

Cheers.
