Well, you got closer, good

But the text from the computer has to be inside the tags. You placed it
outside, between two code tag sections.

(CODE)

Here, inside.

(/CODE)

255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 24321 cylinders, total 390721968 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

Instead you did:

(CODE)
(/CODE)

You pasted here, outside.

(CODE)
(/CODE)

(square brackets replaced with parenthesis so that you see them in the
post).

As you can see in your own post above, the columns of that command
output are distorted, spaces are joined. You do not need to do it now
and here if you don’t want to. Just next time we ask you to paste some
output, put it inside the code tags section.

Is this more like it?

Perfect! :-))

Don’t you see the difference? The tabulation of the columns remains, so
we can easily read the output of the command.

Sorry, guess I’m a slow learner, but yes I see the difference.
Knowing what you know does it change anything?
Assume my best bet is still to do a install to replace Kubuntu, using the entire hard drive?

Really changes nothing using code tags simply makes it easier for people to help you.

Up to you, you can resize kubuntu partition to allow some free space. or you can just tell the installer to use the whole drive and there by zap kubuntu.
