Be careful, though: The Windows loader may get wiped out ("NTLDR is
missing" error), in which case may need to use a Windows repair disc to put
one back on the XP partition. This happened to me when getting rid of an
old Vista partition after I had set up a Vista+Win7+Xubuntu system. It's
not a big deal - it's just an annoying extra hoop to jump through.
