    Yep, come to the point where I don't have a single need for the XP part of my MBP. Was wondering if there was a way to get rid of the XP partition without repartitioning the whole drive and losing everything on my OS X?

    Thanks.

    it probably will mess up things a little bit. highly recommend after doing that, that you boot up from your install cd and repair your disk permissions
