Hi Nikhil,

There are several ways to accomplish what your after.

The cleanest option is to do a complete install, selecting "use entire disk" during the installation process. This will remove the Win7 partition completely, and incorporate the additional disk space for use with Ubuntu.

Other methods are more complex, and require some level of manual disk partitioning.
