Will Ubutu 10.04 HDDinstallation delete only the old win7 or the complete data ofHDD? topic






Hi

Instalation menu has a contradicitive definitions:
1. Delete and use complete HDD (500GB)

2. Win 7 (loader) 85,9GB, Windows Vista (loader)13,8 GB, Windows Vista (loader)108MB will be deleted and Ubuntu 10.04 will be installed

1. sounds like complete deletion at least I am not sure if my 485 GB data of the old Win7 HDD will be deleted too.

However, I also can choose manual fixing partitions, but there are 4 partitions: /dev/sda1 ntfs 208MB occupied 69MB, /dev/sda2 ntfs 486GB occupied: unknown, /dev/sda3 ntfs 13.8GB occupied 11,6GB, /dev/sda4 fat 32 108MB,occupied: 33MB. For each I can activate formatting select for8nknown filesystems or that a partition will not be used.

I do not now what to do? Any help?

Should I use a certain partition as swap file? How big?

Regards
