After MUCH frustration, digging, trial-and-error, I have answered my own question.

The problem, as you may recall, was that I could not delete two "unallocated partitions on my hard drive. All the options (unmount, resize, delete, etc.) were grayed out. I could not unmount them because they were in use.

The answer was to download the GParted LIVE Cd from: http://gparted.sourceforge.net.

I simply inserted the GParted LIVE CD, rebooted, and -- voila! -- I could move, resize, and delete all my partitions at will!

I hope this post can help others with a similar problem.

Linux will not delete a partition unless you tell it to.

The Wubi application installs Ubuntu on the same partition as the Windows operating system. When the computer starts up it prompts you with either starting Windows or Ubuntu.

This is referred to as a, "shell" accept in this case the, "shell" is an unpartitioned OS.
