Down to 3 partitions

Ok, si my HDD was a mess, it had like 10 billion partitions and it was hard to keep track of all of them, so I decided to cut the crap and reduce it to 3 partitions (no swap partition, with 4GB of RAM it's kind of pointless):

1. Windows 7,    400GB (will split it in 380 and 20 in the future for testing out new Linux distros)
2. Ubuntu 11.04   50GB (I will always keep my main Linux-based OS in this partition)
3. projects             50GB (no OS in this partition, just data)

I now feel confident enough to change the OS settings manually in the files. This is a list of the partitions

I will use the projects partition as a data-only partition where I store all my different projects. If I ever feel the need of testing out a new OS (which I will), I will take some 20GB out of the Windows one, and dedicate that new partition ONLY for testing new OSs, meanwhile, the projects partition will always be available. So, no need to move data around.
