Thanx for the quick reply, I must still have not enough knowledge yet, because I couldn't get it done.

I'm guessing you mean removing old instances of the kernel from your Grub boot 
menu??? 

In that case you need to open adept and search for linux-image and remove the 
oldest version.

as for selecting WinXP by default you need to edit you /boot/grub/menu.lst 
file, and change the defualt value in the file to what number XP is in the 
order of the grub Boot list. (the first entry being 0)
