I wanted to install Ubuntu 12.4 LTS beside my Windows 7. So I put the CD and booted my PC, everything was easy, but I wanted to give Ubuntu 200GB and instead I gave it more than a terabyte. Now, my Windows 7 has just 288GB free space. Also Linux-swap has 12GiB which i think is too much. It should be 3GB. Is that correct?
Here is an image of GParted and the Partitions:
Now, I wanted to ask what is the best way to fix all this. How can I be sure what sda1,sda2,sda3,sda4,sda5,sda6 is ? I don't want to destroy my Windows 7.
Should I just delete Ubuntu 12.4 LTS and give the partitions back to Windows? How can I do that? How should I uninstall Ubuntu and how can I give the partition back to Windows 7?
Or, should I use the GParted and shrink the partitions of Ubuntu and give the rest to Windows 7? How should I do that step by step? Is it better then the first option ?
Also, why are there three partitions sda4, 5 & 6? Should there not be one ?
When installing again, Ubuntu 12.4 LTS how can I just give it 200GB main Partition and Swap Partition of 4GB ? The first time I tried I couldn't figure out what to do in advance partitioning. So I let Ubuntu CD do it for me.
Any help appreciated.
How do i merge the unallocated partition with my Windows partition ?
Ok now i get this:
But how can i add the unallocated partition to my windows back (sda2 i guess). When i click on sda2 resize i can't move it on the unallocated partition. I want now to merge it to my windows partition. So what should i do now ? Should i do this from Windows, but how ?
Boot using your ubuntu CD and follow this guide:

i won't try to resize your swap. Your swap is mostly equivalent to your size of ram memory.
Evrything in sda4 is your ubuntu. sda5 is your OS and sda4 your swap.
sda2 is your windows partion, sda1 your windows system partion.
sda3 is windows recovery.
