10gb partition is well excessive, even for recovery purposes... my dell comes with a 27gb partition for everything and a 55mb partition for some random pointless utilities

Terminal, will it be safe to wipe the HDD's and merge it back into one HDD and then re-install Windows XP using my disk I already have?

Removing that partition won't do any harm at all, it's just another way of reinstalling the OS. As long as you have recovery discs for that model and keep them somewhere safe and as long as you are using the green XP recovery/system discs that came with that laptop, you're good to go.

You can't use XP discs from another machine as the hardware will be different. As long as you are confident doing a re-partition and reinstall you will be fine. Whilst I mainly deal with hardware, I can find out ACER-specific queries if you have them, just not instantly.

Re: Acer Aspire 1353XC Notebook
Can i just ask why on earth acer used fat32 on windows XP? even if it is slightly faster than ntfs and can be written to by Linux, imho ntfs is far more reliable.

AFAIK, it's a Windows/Microsoft thing, not an ACER thing.
Windows NT, 2000 and XP all run on NTFS. On a partitioned machine that uses any of these operating systems the primary partition is NTFS, but any subsequent partitions are FAT32.

I'm not a big fan of Windows anyway, my "flavour" or choice is Debian.
