boot windows 7 gparted removing partitions

Do you have
  - data to backup
  - data on one of Ubuntu partition you can't backup ?
You have two Ubuntu ext#fs partitions ? Do you want one or two partitions ?

If you have any data to save and want only one partition:
1) Boot on Ubuntu 9.10 CD and choose "Try but don't install"
2) System->Administration->Gparted
2.1) Remove partitions 5, 6 and 7.
2.2) In new free space you can:
2.2.a) Make a single ext3fs partitions, which will host whole Ubuntu 9.10
2.2.b) Make two partitions: one for "/" i.e. system and one for "/home" i.e. your data. Next time you will make a fresh install, Ubuntu will keep your data untouched on "/home". Today, I use 6 GB for system, so you could reserve 10 GB.
3) Select on desktop "Install"
4) In partition screen, select manual partition, and attached right mounted point "/" (and "/home" for 2.2.b)
5) Continue installation

When you ask an action to GParted, it's not executed immediately. You have to click on the green "arrow" (don't know english word).

As followed your instruction. I try to delete partition 5,6 and 7 the following error was occured
"Unable to delete /dev/sda5!
Please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 5"

Please help me!

Did you boot from Ubuntu CD ?
When you use Gparted, you need first to unmount each partition you want to delete.

Yes, I boot from Ubuntu 9.10 CD
I try to unmount
It is not an active (both 5,6 & 7)

To remove partition with Gparted:
1) select partition
2) right-click and Unmount
3) right-click and Delete

Thank you very much sir, for your reply

But I followed this methods,

I select windows 7 => Disk Manager =>
Here I delete all unallocted and linux partitions except (Windows recovery, C:, G: and H:)
and I allocted space in the following ways :-
C: 50GB
G: 100GB
H: 120GB
remaining 20 GB I used for Ubuntu 9.10
Now my problem is fully solved.

again Thank you verymuch for your kind cooperations

I suspect someone guess your password and is sending spam. Could you change your password.
When you change original comment, please add to this one but don't remove old contents.
I manage lot of questions, and have to read each time the whole question as I can't remember all questions.
Could you ADD in TOP of first comment the result of command "parted -l" and explains what you want, as I'm a little lost.
