'No Stupid Questions' General

You'll probably have issues deleting it while running windows. Try booting off a Linux Live CD, but also make sure to delete the backup copies stored by windows in System32 otherwise it will re-create it on boot:

Windows/notepad.exe
Windows/SysWOW64/notepad.exe
Windows/System32/notepad.exe
 
I'm here to please
Good.

I have a desktop with two hard drives-one with Windows and one with a Ubuntu derivative. I had to reinstall Windows but Grub isn't detecting the Windows drive. How do I get Grub to detect both without messing up the boot partitions on either drive?

Try running: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc"
