I have windows vista and ubuntu installed on my computer. I know vista is on dev/sda1 and dev/sda2 but I have extra ubuntu installed that I don't need. I want to keep the ubuntu I am using but delete the other partitions but I'm not positive of which partitions to delete. this is what fdisk and then p outputs:
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xb8684380

/dev/sda7 17598 17688 730926 82 Linux swap / Solaris
and when I do mount it says this:
/dev/sda6 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
/sys on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
varrun on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=0755)
varlock on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=1777)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
devshm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
lrm on /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/volatile type tmpfs (rw)
securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw)
I am assuming I am using sda6 but would the other one I want to keep be sda3 since the id for both of them is 83? I really don't know what I am doing and am worried I will mess up my computer! Thanks for any suggestions!
