Deleting dual boot XP partition

[Luke Skywalker]

Hi,

1. Don't know if you could modify the partition to increase it's size with
the amount of the windows partition (like in windows with Partition Magic),
but if you really like to play with linux, you could try to make a RAID 0
from the 2 partitions :)

2. No, if you reinstall on the same computer with the rescue disk you don't
need again a new license. Rescue disc contains an OEM version of Windows, it
means you can reinstall it as many times you like BUT only on the same
machine. You cannot uninstall it from this laptop and install it on another
one, the license key belongs only to that computer
