   I downloaded 11.04 the 32 bit version ISO from the Ubuntu Site (http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download), burned the CD and installed Ubuntu, which completely fromatted the harddisk.
   Hopefully this answers your question as I do not know whether this is the Graphical or Alternate installer Edition. I assume this is the Graphical version.

     That’s the graphical installer edition. It would have been a lot better if you had used the Alternate Installer edition. In the future, you might want to use that, instead of the graphical installer edition.

     You may use http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php or http://partedmagic.com/doku.php to resize the Ubuntu partition. Keep in mind that you will have to burn either one to a CD, and boot the system from the CD. Then you can manipulate the partition.

     If you were using LVM, you could have done that with just 1 simple command, all while the system is running. More on LVM at http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2008/11/17/linux-logical-volume-manager/

   How did you install Ubuntu? Using the edition that supports LVM, that is, the Alternate Installer edition, or using the graphical installer edition?
