First of all I am a complete newbie.
I have a 13gb hard drive with a 7.45 GB /dev/hda windows.
My question is there any way to delete the windows and save
Ubuntu?

why do you tink there would be any problems? just delete the partitions you don't want.

only thing i would mention is that if you outright delete a partition, other partitions may renumber themselves after reboot, causing issues, but if you're actually just looking to get the space back, don't delete the partition. change the fs type to whatever you wat and then just format it.

This should help;

If I understand you correctly, you have two partitions. One partition has Ubuntu and the other has Windows. You want to erase Windows. If Windows is the first partition then Windows is on /dev/hda1 and Ubuntu is on /dev/hda2.

If my description of your configuration is correct then you can eliminate Windows by booting into Linux and formating the Windows partition using the msfk command. For example if you want the Windows partition to become an empty Linux ext3 file system you would issue the command:
mkfs -t ext3 /dev/hda1

See:
man mkfs

Hi!

Just post the output of this command:We will tell you the exact commands you need to know to remove Windows.

Also know beforehand that if you re-install Windows on the same place, you will most probably need to know how to boot into Ubuntu again. Best of luck

Thank you everyone who responed to my post.
