Thank you all for your help with my last post. It was extreamly helpful and appreciated. I am now running ubuntu, but with ubuntu there came a new problem... Ram my computer is running so slow it can hardly be used. How can I delete windows off of system and free up memory???

A method was posted in your last thread, but no harm in reiterating me thinks, and also since you have Ubuntu installed already, gparted is great for deleting and resizing partitions.

A live version can be downloaded @

Code: Select all

http://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/files/gparted-live-stable/

Lots of documentation is available for instruction @

Code: Select all

Hollar if you run into problems

Why not put the file on a flash drive and import it from another computer to yours?

Linux is a lot about reading documentations, which might be annoying at the start, but this way you also learn a lot....

True statement. Linux requires more work then windows, but that work pays off, and is totally worth it... sometimes it can be frustrating, but be patient, ask a lot of questions and you'll persevere =)
