Hi mikeb3809,
Hedgehog1 aka The Hedge asked me to drop by and help out a bit.
First I have some questions that will hopefully clarify a few things:
1. there are remnants of a Wubi install; can I assume you used to have Wubi and subsequently uninstalled it?
2. is sdb, the 20GB drive, an external drive or secondary HD?
3. how is BIOS currently set as regards boot device priority?
So, to your original question:
it appears you have 2 Ubuntu installs on sdb; was this planned or done inadvertently?
My suggestion would be to delete one of the installs, freeing up space for the other.
You also need to determine which Ubuntu you installed last and whether it controls the boot process (something else that would be good to tell us before you continue).
As Hedgehog1 already said, deleting/moving/resizing partitions should be done from the LiveCD.
But, first, before you start please make backups of all important data.
If you want to wait for some other opinions, please feel free.
Thanks.

thanx for the response. To start, I am very ignorant insofar as LINUX is concerned. I just installed first time in Nov or Dec, using part of a DOS drive for the install. I decided recently to clean all win stuff from sdb & use whole HD for linux. Then I reinstalled, both times I installed the same version, 10.10 Ubuntu from same CD.
2.The drive I used /dev/sdb1, is an internal drive. While reinstalling, I selected to partition drive, being used to doing that in *******. I didn't realize I was going to lose the 2nd partition.
1. I have no clue as to what WUBI is or does. Don't know if I uninstalled it.
3. boot priority: cd, floppy, HD, then external HD.
When I boot, the menu has 3 different choices for ubuntu and one for Win XP. two choices for ubuntu on top then win xp and next ubuntuThe first two choices don't work properly so I use the third prompt: 2.6.35-22 on /dev/sdb1 . Do you need to know what the first two choices say? They are different from last option tho they are both the same.
Seems to me I used to have v. 11 after the first install was updated from v 10.10. I thought when I reinstalled & repartitioned it would delete the first install. I am at a loss. Would I be better to clean the HD & start from scratch. This version I'm using now seems flakey, things keep changing for no reason. i.e. my cursor changes back to normal size, my colors change, the volume control disappeared from top panel. I have no data in this drive to back up as I place all documents on my dos drive. as long as I don't change that I'm cool.
How can I clean all off the drive and start with a clean install using the entire drive for ubuntu? I have no idea how to remove one version leaving another on drive.:confused:
If I had any hair left, I'd be pulling it out! :P I appreciate the help you guys are giving me. I hope I answered your request properly. If you need more, let me know.
Thanks loads
Michael

Michael,
Based on what you have installed and un-installed, I wonder if you would be willing to make a clean slate of Ubuntu on the 20 gig drive?
The idea is that you would create a 3 partition install with your data in a partiton for '/home', so future installs/upgrades/reinstalls are less painful? This is a great learning experience.
The idea is that would save any data from your Ubuntu install onto another drive (or to a USB stick), and then get a 'do-over', but this time YOU will be in control of the install.
Once you save your data, you would use gparted to remove all the partitions on the 20 gig drive, and then create three new ones.
They would be:
/dev/sdb1 ext4 5 gigs '/'
/dev/sdb2 Linux Swap 2 gigs
/dev/sdb3 ext4 23 gigs (the rest of the drive) '/home'
Here a a picture of the three partitions. They are part of dual boot in these pictures (only set I had on hand), so you need to translate the sda5=sdb1, sda6=sdb2 & sda7=sdb3:

Once your three partitions are laid out, you will start the install and eventually get to this screen:

Here is what the allocation screen looks like:

Remeber, you need to translate the sda5=sdb1, sda6=sdb2 & sda7=sdb3. Now you will 'map' the three partitions on /dev/sdb.
First, make /dev/sdb1 your '/' (root) partition:
