It would also be wise to back up any important stuff onto cd incase it all goes tits up.

You can rewrite mbr with fixmbr with no doubt.

Re: dual boot problem

yes, delete the linux partition and then using your XP CD's recovery console (hit R around the bit with the EULA) type fixmbr and it will reinstall the xp bootloader over GRUB.
