Hard Drive: 1x 250GB SATA

Optical Drive: Pioneer DVR-110D DVD-RW
USB: 4x USB 2.0
Sound Card: 7.1 Channel
Ethernet Adapter: Intel 10/100/100 Gigabit

I have a Vista RC1, XP, Ubuntu Linux 6.06LTS triple-boot system. My Windows Partitions are:

C:/ - (Windows XP) NTFS 100GB
E:/ - (Windows Vista RC1) NTFS 90GB
F:/ - FAT32 10GB

My Linux partitions are:

/dev/sda6 - Linux installation- ext3 format-35GB
/dev/sda7 - linux-swap 5GB

I wanted to uninstall Ubuntu. So is formatting the 2 linux partitions all I have to do? Will formatting them remove the GRUB bootloader?
