The only unwanted partition is the one in which right now is Fedora Core 11
(100 GB) and none other, as I want Windows as it is. Further, on the
desktop, after clicking the Ubuntu icon, I guess it must be having an option
of 'replacing the existing Linux system' there only can't be done, because
simultaneously it would be formatted too.
