Hi,

Prob a newbie query but I did a search and could not find the answer... anyway here goes..

Thanks in advance

yes, by the installer will format your hard-drive and delete windows from it, allocating 100% of the space to ubuntu.

you can find info on installing ubuntu here: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing.html
the 'Partitioning your disks' section deals with installing over windows.

I done the "wubi" thing to get ubuntu. Now i like it so well that I'm ready to get rid of windows vista. I have a partition manager and fiddled with it a little but every time I try to do something in it I get BIG WARNING SIGNS telling me I'm getting ready to mess up big time(while ubuntu is better, I am still not proficient in handling my files to where I'm comfortable at it).Is this the way to go or is there a better, less "alarming" way to accomplish it?
