Okay, we got GParted to work. Got to the graphical interface, looking at the HDD:

Partition - System File - Label - Size - Used - Unused - Flags
Unallocated - Unallocated - 1.00 MiB
/dev/sda1 - NTFS - Toshiba System Volume - 1.56 GiB - 500.25 MiB - 999.75MiB
/dev/sda2 - NTFS - SQ004992V01 - 218.75 GiB - --- - --- - Boot
/dev/sda3 - NTFS - HDDRECOVERY - 12.67 GiB - 6.99 GiB - 5.67 GiB - Hidden

Sda1 and sda3 have a little teal square before the System File entry. Sda2 has a yellow caution triangle.

I can't make heads or tails of this, it looks nothing like the tutorials I've seen. Should we wipe the HDD and just install Ubuntu new? If so, how do we do it?
