    You made the right choice. Welcome to freedom!

    And I agree with the above suggestion. If the Win7 partitions are before the Ubuntu partitions on the HD, you can’t just reset it. Reinstall.

    If you installed Ubuntu alongside Win7 in dual-boot fashion, on an existing installation of Win7, then deleted Win7, I do not see how you can “reset” the HD without first reinstalling Ubuntu.

    And that’s what I think you need to do. Reinstall Ubuntu. The installer will create the partitions needed automatically, wiping the old Win7 partitions in the process.

    Better still, you can create the partitions yourself. See this guide for help on how to configure partitions on Ubuntu manually: http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2011/05/04/manual-disk-partitioning-guide-for-ubuntu-11-04/
