Hi all,
I backed up my files and now want to remove the 60 GB windowz partition and give my / partition all the GB's. How can I do this?

I did the same thing a couple months ago. Only difference for me was that I was removing two partitions. This should apply for you and this assumes you're using LVM. Not sure if there's an easier way to do it or not, but this was pretty easy. I also had to do some searching to figure out exactly how to do a couple of these things. I would back your stuff up somehow to be safe!
Unfortunately he doesn't appear to be using LVM, so he'll only be able to convert the Windows partition into a Linux partition and mount it somewhere (e.g. /mnt/data) to have that space available.
A better option might be to reinstall; depends how much in the way of settings there are that would need migrating.
