fdisk -l wasn't very interesting.  Your ubuntu disk didn't show there,
so I deleted those sections.  Read on.

This tells me you have no space in /, which is bad because you're
likely to need space there, for temporary files, for space in ~/ (your
home directory) or in /var/log for system logs.  

However you also have a ton of space on sda,sdb,sdc,sdd (especially!)
and sdf.  

You have a few options.  
	1) take that space out of the boot partition and put it back
		into / (root). 
	2) shrink one of your emptier windows partitions and use them
		to store part of / (like /usr, which takes up lots of
		space,  or /home). 
	3) remove something.  I don't recommend this unless you have a 
		lot of cruft you mean to remove.  

I recommend the first option, because you're more likely to feel
comfortable doing that.
