Unless I'm mistaken, it's just a case of booting into Ubuntu via a Live-CD and using GParted to format your Linux partition as fat32. Windows will then recognise it and map it to a local drive letter on boot. You could remove it completely and expand the Windows partition but that's quite risky, I've nailed a Vista installation before by doing that, it corrupted a lot of the files. Regards, Tommy
