which boot loader are you using, linux's grub boot loader or windows?. if you have boot problems after removing linux then just whack your xp disc in and go to the repair options and this will auto fix the windows boot loader.
am sure the true linux fanboy's will say whack g-parted on a stick or cd and use that instead of easeus running in xp

As HB said, command slightly different in XP.
All you have to do then is delete the partition and all done.

Windows <spit> has a complicated method of allocating a drive letter.
This drive letter is hard-coded in the registry.
It is quite possible to completely link:censored things up, even though you haven't touched any Windows data.

Quote How did you get on with it anyway?
I'm getting on well with it still on 9.10 at the moment, I have downloaded 10.04 but as my other 3 Linux systems are all in working environments I'm hanging back a little longer for the moment probably going to swap my home desktop first and see how that goes.
Quote Quickest "dirty" way is to boot XP and run, "fdisk /mbr"
Will I be able to boot into xp using just recovery discs? I think they're just an image of the hard drive from new system by symantec ghost?
Why "dirty" does it leave behind problems?

No really it is the way the M$ does it if you install any of its OS's on a machine with a working OS on it, it tramples all over the mbr and removes grub/lilo etc.
There are no problems doing it this way.

I wonder if M$ can cope with that?
