A few months back, I did a clean install of Win Xp Home over Win XP Pro. In the process, I also installed a copy of Win 2K. After all was said and done, I ended up wity two copies of Win Xp Home and Win 2k. I then deleted a copy of Win Xp and Win 2k from the boot sequence so my computer would automatically boot the XP I saved. Now I am looking to add Linux and want to know how to get rid of the two Os's that I don't use. Is this possible and how do I do it? Thanks for any and all help in advance.

did you install each OS on a diff partition or HD?
If you did and you dont have any important data on those partitions except the OS that on them, all you have to do is to format the partitions where the OS that you want to delete.
