[OCLUG-Tech] removing installation

When I upggraded from ubuntu 7.10 to ubuntu 8.04 on my machine at work.
I ended up with both versions installed.
I finally figured out how to upgrade properly so now I have 2 versions of
8.04.
HOW DO I GET RID OF THE NEW  8.04?

Note that I am aware that using gparted to delete the partitions containing
this 8.04 will not work because it will cause grub to fail with error 22.
:-(
If you are stupid enough to make this mistake then you can reinstall 8.04
and that should clear up the problem. (You get to reinstall grub during the
installation process.)  Perhaps there are better ways to fix grub.
My rescue CD didn't seem to help.
