I recently installed ubuntu and it changed my windows partition from sda1 to sdb1. How do I change it back to sda1?

With the Live CD:

System > Applications > Terminal

Copy and paste or type in this code:


sudo fdisk -l Small L

Copy and paste the results here.

Here is my fdisk -l. I don't mind having to delete the ubuntu and reinstall it later if I can make my windows (ntfs) partition sda1. Any help is appreciated. Also if anyone knows, why are there two ext3 partitions for ubuntu (sda1 and sda5) ? This is not from the live cd. I am currently on the Ubuntu system that is installed on the computer.
