I've currently got my 'spare space' 200GB hard drive full to the hilt, and about 50GB of that space is partitioned for my Fedora 4 install I had wanted to experiment with a while back but I've hardly touched, and probably won't touch again. I'll probably start fresh on my next PC (a month or two maybe) with Ubuntu.
But in the meantime, I want to reformat my Linux partitions to reclaim for Windows space. Easy enough, but I'm uneasy about what to do with my boot sector or bootloader. Currently, when I start the PC, the blue Fedora GRUB screen comes up and defaults to Windows after 10 seconds, unless I press something and scroll down to one of the various "Red Hat Fedora kernel 2.6.10....." entries (it made a new one every time I updated all packages, frustrating). When it starts Windows, it comes up with something like "bootloader +1" for about 10-15 seconds (something I typed into grub.conf to get it to load Windows initially, can't remember specifics).
How do I fix this to simply boot into Windows normally, can I fix the boot partition to default to normal, or what do I do? It's XP Home, if that matters.
