[ubuntu-uk] Disk Usage Analyzer is reporting file system capacity as 4.9 GB. This must be wrong.

I would start by booting from a desktop install CD and then gparted
(System->Administration->Partition Editor) and use it to delete the
Windows partition and then move and resize the Ubuntu partition.

It's possible that gparted may not let you do all the operations you
need to on the existing partitions, in which case I would resort to a
re-install!

Tony.
