Hi,
It depends - I notice they dont have drive letters, so you wouldn't see them in Windows Explorer. They look like they could be Linux based partitions (primary and Linux swap). Have you ever installed a Linux distro to this PC?

Yes, but Linux I think it was deleted after I installed Windows 7 because here it doesn`t show up

Well, I was reinstalling Win7 for the first time in my life, so I was affraid of losing the large and important amount of data that I have on partition D. I installed Win7 in D (and then I was having 2 Win7 at the same time). Then I formatted drive C to get rid of the first Win7, and then I deleted the entry from System Configuration-Boot, so it remains just one. I hope you'll understand my bad english.

Ouch. That sounds really messy!
Well based on the fact that the Boot & System sit on the same active partition, it looks safe to remove those partitions. Is your data all backed up?

I can't backup my data, I don't have where to store it somewhere else and if I lose something, I'm dead.

If I delete those 2 partitions, the free space will be Unallocated Space?

Hi Alina, first I would like to welcome you to the Seven Forums.
Your disk management looks a bit messy. That being said, yes you can delete those two partitions. First thing I would do after deleting them would then be to increase the size of your system partition C:, it looks terrible small for Windows 7, being only 30 GB.
The new increased unallocated space would be just after the C: partition so increasing should be OK.
Next step: please start making backups!
