I have too many partitions (result of some unsuccessful attempts to install ubuntu).

 

I have since completely removed ubuntu and grub. Completely reinstalled windows. Yet, I still have this problem...I have a whole bunch of crappy partitions that I have no idea what they do. This is not what a normal windows 8 partition table looks like

 

Here is a picture of my partition table:

Does anyone know how to completely delete all of these partitions and JUST have my normal windows 8 one??

Theyre partitions made by the manufacturer of you notebook... you can delete the recovery ones if you have recovery dvds but if not.. keep em. You can make your Windows partition larger using the unallocated space tho

So there isn't any way to get rid of the 16gig and the 350 MB

 

...ps this laptop doesn't have a disk drive

I think there was some option to make a bootable usb recovery media through windows 8... maybe try that so you can get rid of the recovery partitions. The unallocated one you can simply add to the windows one
