How to partition hard disk using Live CD (Ubuntu)

I end-up destroying the Windows primary partition after installing Ubuntu and later the Windows was complaining 'No hard disk found due to the incorrect partitions'.

To repartition your hard disk using Ubuntu:
1. Boot from the Ubuntu as a Live OS
2. Press Ctrl + Alt + T to start the terminal
3. Issue the command 'sudo gparted'

Now the gparted GUI will be opened. Delete the partitions and recreate a Primary partition and an Extended partition. The extended partition can be sub divided again into logical partitions.
