partitioning - Problem with partitions after reinstallment

I originally had Windows10 installed on my laptop.



I did partitioning, installed Ubuntu 14.04, had a low-graphics mode problem but couldn't solve it and then tried to reinstall Ubuntu.



In this process, I think I have erased the Windows10 and have instead installed Ubuntu, again.



When I log in to Ubuntu, I see two disks, each with /boot folder in it.
And the below is the information of my partitioning:





Disk /dev/sda: 2000.4 GB, 2000398934016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 243201 cylinders, total 3907029168 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x000e299b

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

/dev/sda1 * 2046 3906437119 1953217537 5 Extended
Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary.
/dev/sda5 2048 7999487 3998720 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda6 8001536 398620671 195309568 83 Linux
/dev/sda7 398626816 3906437119 1753905152 83 Linux

Disk /dev/sdb: 256.1 GB, 256060514304 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 31130 cylinders, total 500118192 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x0f838f59

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 * 2048 498127989 249062971 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sdb2 498128896 500115455 993280 27 Hidden NTFS WinRE


Is my understanding of partitioning correct? That is, is the Windows deleted?




If so, is there a way for me to fix the problem having two partitioned Linux system and make it into one?



Any answer would be helpful. Thanks.
