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:

And I am not even sure it can be done. 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?
