1. First, create your own bootable Ubuntu CD.
2. Now boot to it.
3. Select ‘Install or start Ubuntu’ from the odd menu that shows up first.
4. Now wait. Go brew a cup of tea. You’re booting from CD, so this will be slow.
5. Now you should be looking at the Ubuntu desktop. If you’re not yet, go get another cup of tea.
6. Looking at the Ubuntu desktop? Great.
7. Now, in the upper left corner of the screen, you will see ‘Applications’, ‘Places’ and ‘System’.
8. Click on ‘System’ and a drop down menu will appear.
9. From the System menu, select ‘Administration’. If you’ve done it right, another menu appears.
10. From the Administration menu, select ‘Partition Editor’, it’s the seventh item from the top.
11. In a few moments, you should see the GParted partition editor window.

I’m not sure where this article should go from here. GParted does some nifty things. Remember to only use it on a drive that does not contain any vital information; because one of the things it can do for you is remove everything on the drive.
