Dual boot issue

Ok, so I've had a non-registered version of WinXP Pro on my system for about 2 years now. (I know, shame on me) But, I recently bought a copy of XP Home. I just tried to install Home and it says that I can't "upgrade" from Pro to Home, i'm assuming because it's technically a downgrade. Anyway, now I have them both loaded on my PC and I just want Home. How do I get rid of Pro?

Thanks,
Rich

I would assume it's as simple as deleting your Pro partition. This can be easily done by downloading and burning a Gparted boot disk: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
