Hello again ...
after trying to fix my Ubuntu installation I decided to re-do it from scratch.
Inserter the CD and followed the normal installation flow.
When the installation completed I noticed that I have now 3 partitions on my drive:
- Windows XP (the "old" partition)
- Ubuntu 1st installation (corrupted: I want to delete it together with the corresponding swap)
- Ubuntu 2nd installation (clean: want to keep it).
Needless to say, I want to delete the "Ubuntu 1st installation" (both remove the partition and cleanup the Grub).
Would be nice to know also for when I get rid of Windows XP (I have installed VirtualBox on Ubuntu for those Win SW for which I can't find an equivalent in Linux).
I'm sure many have made the same mistake when re-installing ...
Thanks in advance!
