Removing alternate Dual boot OS

Post by Leomas »

This may be something already answered though I couldn't find it with the searches I ran so...

I rebuilt my laptop repeatedly with different flavours of Linux and most recently as dual-boot with Mint 9.0 and OpenSUSE as I was not sure which best suited how I wanted to work and I was trying to work through the options as quickly as possible. Having got Mint to how I want it complete with a Windows Virtual Machine (which has been the main reason for OS hopping) I want to remove the OpenSUSE to get all the space back since this is not an over-endowed laptop. Is there a simple process which I have simply not noticed? I really really don't want to lose all the work I have done in Mint as this is the first time I have got all the bits I need working simultaneously.

You need to fix grub2 and the partitions you can alter via live-CD
