disk. Right click on each of these partitions and select
<guibutton>Delete</guibutton>. The space will be freed.</para>
<para>If you are using Windows XP, you can create a new partition and format it
(FAT32 or NTFS). It will get a partition letter.</para>
<para>If you have Vista or 7, you have one more possibility, you can extend the

windows and linux. As always, when changing partitions, be very careful, and
make sure all important things have been backed up.</para>
