Removing Windows

[Kai Presler-Marshall]

Totally am in Chappel Hill :)

I really don't want to reinstall now, this is my main system & I
mostly have it set up the way I like it......and with how busy school
is I don'mt have time to re-set it up ATM.  So I would be best off
just keeping Windows or just using gparted to exand my Ubuntu to use
everything?

And your name sounds familiar.....
