Task B1 and B2 of the last link of my signature refers.

Take your pick.

Once Grub is replaced by MS's MBR just click disk management in XP to remove the Ubuntu partitions.

You need a 3rd party software like Partition Magic to "merge" other partitions or free hard disk space into an existing Windows partition.
