Nooob Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Currently I am (well..... ummmm.....I was....) dual booting XP Pro and 2008.1 I ran the command line upgrade for 2009 and have wrecked 2008.1 Data was backed up prior, so no big deal really. I have a 2009 Live CD and prefer to reinstall. Questions: Should I remove the existing Linux partitions from XP Disk Manager before installing 2009, or leave them alone? Will Grub update accordingly during reinstall? Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 You don't need to remove them no. If you don't want to keep the data on these particular Linux partitions, then you can format them clean when you do the install from the LiveCD. Just make sure not to format the Windows one! Then restore your data later when you're up and running in Linux again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
