Hi,
I'm trying to replace Windows XP on my family's PC with Ubuntu (the thing has gotten consistently destroyed by spyware every time I leave for a few weeks). Unfortunately the CD drive operates in some alternative dimension and I can't seem to get it to boot from USB so the only way to install Ubuntu was with wubi.
Now I've got it installed but I need to get rid of the Windows install partition. Is there any way to do this bearing in mind that Windows is so clogged up that it's almost impossible to do anything in it? Does wubi rely on the folder on my C drive to operate or can I just go ahead and delete the windows partition from here?
I'm completely new to Linus as well so any help is really appreciated, cheers!
