Question #76319 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/76319

    Status: Open => Answered

InSearchof proposed the following answer:
If you chose the 160gb partition during you ubuntu install, you data on
the 160gb drive is (probably) gone. IIRC there is an option to utilize
the free space, but i've never chose this option, so I dont know if
there are currently file system requirements for that partitcular
install (ie if it repartitions the drive or not)

Open up a shell prompt on your ubuntu session and type df -h

if the first displayed line on the output of that command shows ~150gb -
155gb (Give or take for swap allocation) then you've wiped your 160gb
drive/partition.
