I have installed Fedora alongside Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit. I have decided to uninstall the Fedora and I want to use Ubuntu instead. I wish to keep Win 7 and its data (NTFS drives). Please guide me how to do so.

My main concern is to uninstall and existing Linux OS without rupturing the Windows OS.

  • First backup your important datas which was placed on that Fedora partition.

  • Now boot from the Ubuntu installation disk or live disk.

  • Click on Install Ubuntu option on startup and select something else option.

  • Now format the fedora partition into ext4 filesystem and then install Ubuntu on the formatted ext4 partition.

  • When the installer asks you to create a new swap partition then follow this to allocate how much space needed for the SWAP partition.
