I am new at Ubuntu but very interested. I need help for my drive partitioning.

PC details: DELL Vostro 1014 | HDD 320GB, RAM 2GB and storage media as seen in the following screenshots. enter image description here enter image description here enter image description here

I want to have partition like below:

  1. A drive where I can install Ubuntu like C drive of Windows
  2. Home like Windows
  3. SmallBusiness

I do not need the unallocated or free space Please help me. Linked images are from my PC. I have tried to make partition. But not good. Thanks in advance.

    I would recommend looking into using UnetBootin and GParted to partition the harddrives. http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ and http://gparted.sourceforge.net/. You will need unetbootin because you cannot partition a HD while mounted. So these websites will give you step by step instructions on downloading and using their software. – ryekayo Jun 12 '14 at 18:00

If you are ready for reinstallation of the whole system you have an option of merging both ext4 File systems so that you atleast have 33 GB free Space on which you can smoothly run Ubuntu.

For installation help please read this -https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
