Basically it's no problem, but there are some problems as I've stated elsewhere
You probably had XP before Mint which means that when you remove windows there's an "empty space" "before Mint" on the disk. I write before meaning closer to the beginning and therefore faster. The difference in speed is probably not too important, but still.
If you had three partitions, XP, Mint and swap, its time to move home to it's own partition where XP used to be

If you already have home on a separate partition, post your partitioning scheme and we'll have to figure out something
