i have formated my partition tha i had windows xp installed on , and left ubuntu!! but when i start my laptop it asks me which o/s to use can i get rid of that??

Edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file and remove any options you are not using.
You can also set timeout to less (2 is default on a single OS setup) and
remove the # from the hidemenu line to not show grub unless you press
escape. Make sure the first menu entry is the one you want to default boot.
You can change the default option but updates will cause the wrong option to
boot and you will need to edit the file again. It's best to keep the one you
want as default at the top.

Oops, my bad. Yes, you have to have admin (called root) rights to edit that file. Use the sudo command suggested above. For more info on sudo see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo.

thank it worked!
