hi

i have the new intel macbook 10.5.6, i tried installing xubuntu 8.10. but i messed it up. i made a partition of 20gb using OSX, opened the partition editor in xubuntu, and deleted it (FOLLOWING A GUIDE) i then went onto install the OS and when i found out i couldnt even access xubuntu, i tried uninstalling. now its coming up in disk utitilty with "macintosh hd " a grey box of "free" 19gb storage and a box saying LINUX SWAP which is bout 900mb .

i cannot delete linux swap, and when i try to incase my macintosh hd from 177gb to 197gb it wont let me, it says this partition does not exist!

im on the verge of restoring my entire mac! which is a nightmare for me as i dont have any way of backin up my songs! so i'd rather not restore my mac, so oculd someone please help me get rid of all this horrible linux stuff an get me back up to 197gb of storage i can USE

THANK YOU :)
