hi i'm still pretty new to linux. i've played around with wubi on my laptop and enjoy it. I'm building a small cnc machine and i found emc2 a free cnc control program for 8.04. i've burned the live cd and i decided to use an old desktop i had laying around. It had xp installed but when it boots into xp it gets a blue screen of death and shuts down before it even shows a desktop so its getting hardy installed :) anyway my question is should i format the harddrive or just partition the hard drive and install? this is the first time i've ever installed an os before so i'm not sure
ps i'm pretty sure the hard drive is still good i was able to salvage a few files onto a usb drive while testing the live cd
thank you for your help :)
