<p class=MsoNormal>I am sure this has been asked a number of times, and I am
not finding anything relevant using a google search, so I thought I would post
my query here. I have a user that owns a Dell Inspiron laptop, that has a 60G
drive split in two, with Windows XP on the first partition, and Fedora Core 7
on the second. Now, he decides he would like me to remove Windows XP and make
it a 100% linux laptop. Great, I think to myself, a convert! Until I look at
the way it is configured:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I find many tutorials showing how to uninstall Linux from
the second partition and return the machine back to the original XP
configuration, but none really documenting the process going the other way (eg
keeping linux and dumping xp). And I am not even sure it can be done. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Has anyone done this? If so, is there some documentation
that I can sneak a peak at to help push me in the right direction?<o:p></o:p></p>
