I have a laptop dual booted with Win 7 and Fedora. I want to replace Fedora with Ubuntu. Is it safe to simply delete all the non-ntfs partitions during the Ubuntu install? I just don't want to whack ******* as I depend on it ofr work. THe current partitions are:'
dev/sda1 ntfs 104 mb
dev/sda2 ntfs 58336 mb
dev/sda5 ext4 209 mb
/dev/sda6 unknown 54196 mb
dev/sda3 fat32 7176 mb

Thanks

I don't either but it may be a recovery or HP tools or something. I'll leave that one alone.

To answer my own question, it worked fine, to my relief. I deleted the patitions that were not ntfs or fat32, created swap, root, and home partitions, and the grub loader installed fine and everything works. Yay Ubuntu! :D
