If I were planning to keep Ubuntu and dispense with the other two
systems, I'd boot into Ubuntu.

$ sudo grub-install /dev/hda

then

$sudo update-grub (this may be superfluous)

Check the menu.lst:

$ less /boot/grub/menu.lst

and make sure the Ubuntu system is the default.

reboot to check and then deal with the remaining partitions as planned.
