Dual boot situation

I have a dual boot setup on two HD's - Win XP Pro (60 gb hd) Master, - Linux Redhat 7.3 (40 gb hd) Slave. I want to go back to just XP and use the 40 gb hd as a data drive for data created in XP.

How do I disable the dual boot option screen at bootup? And how do I get XP to recognize the 40 gb HD after removing Linux?

I went to Administrative tools, Computer Management and Disk Management and it shows the 40 gb with three partitions and it would appear that I can delete those partitions. But would XP then recognize that drive in My Computer? (it doesn't now).

Could I then format NTSF file system on it. And, that brings me back to, how do I get the dual boot screen from coming up. I looked in the boot.ini file and compared it to my other computer and it is the same syntax.

Any help would be appreciated
