I have a Toshiba laptop satellite with a 300GB hard drive and it is partitioned into six partitions and I want to cut/trim them to just dual-boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu 14.04, which is a reinstall so it /sda8. I had 13.10 which /sda6 and I also have 14.10 /sda7 all are ext4's and was able to reformat the partition 6 but I can't delete the partition and I keep getting: 

CAN'T DELETE AS LONG AS A PARTION GRATER 6 IS MOUNTED

And I cant unmount /sda8 still, that what is running, also how would I get these other partitions removed after? Can I combine the old into one and change /sda8 to 6 so it will automaticaly load? I want to keep Windows 7 at present.

You should boot into live mode from a LiveUSB and use the provided disks utility to unmount the partitions /sda6 and above, then you will be able to remove the unneeded partitons and create partitions for 14.04.
