Asked by benny

Plan to remove ubuntu versi 9.04 first
I have read 100% completed about versi 9.04 installation

I suggest you run:

blkid

Then you can mount each partition to read etc/fstab on the partition (not /etc/fstab as that will be the fstab of the currently running system (I'm guessing Live CD))

You will then know which partition to remove safely. You can obviously ignore the NTFS as these will not be Linux partitions.

I would use gparted to remove sda7, sda6 and make a new "linux-swap" partition in their place. Then right-click on that and choose "Swap On". Then using the button on the top right-hand corner change to sdb and delete sdb5 & sdb3. While there resize sdb2 to fill all the rest of the drive.

I'm not sure which version of Ubuntu that would leave you with but whichever one it is would be setup much more elegantly then.

Note that when you delete a partition you lose everything, all the data and everything that is on that partition so please make sure you have copied everything to partitions you are not going to delete. Really it's just the /home folder in sda6 that worries me.

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
