If you wish to regain your extra hard drive space you need to go to Start>
Control Panel> Administrative Settings (or something like that) > Computer
Management> Disks...and then remove the EXT3 partition from the drive that
windows is installed from...you should then be able to format to NTFS and
mount the disk as a new drive that windows can use.
I'll write something better with pictures at some point today. Just not now.

Hi Tracey
Boot off the XP disc, select Recovery Console, when you get command prompt
do FIXMBR that will wipe grub / fix the boot record.
Out of interest why are you giving up on Linux? (Or are you?) I can
understand blitzing Ubuntu ;-) but is there not something more to your
liking?

Arch Linux is an independent i686-optimized community distribution for
intermediate and advanced Linux users. Utilising a Rolling Release System
packages are regularly updated and an ISO release is just a snapshot to the
stable packages at that time. So there's no need for a fresh install the
command 'pacman –Syu' upgrades the whole system.
