hello to all!

I have decided to erase vista off my hard disk and give all the space to ubuntu since its partition is already full. Besides, Im having a hard time trying to download stuff from the internet and saving it into my home folder because of the lack of space

how do I do this? I will be using gparted on my ubuntu LIVE cd but I dont know anything from that point forward..

Im attaching a screenshot of my current partitioned hard disk

thank you very much in advance..

Do you want to keep your present Linux?

Lol indeed... I'm feeling tempted to try Mint becuase my system was behaving oddly...but, as a matter or fact, it just begun to work right okay today so I might keep it for longer.

Thanks for your help!

report: I totally screwed the system so I made a fresh install... This will take some tame to get my system back to were it was...

Could you save any data from your home folder?
