Hello all...

I realized x64 is nice, but not ideal... I need to reinstall x86 and am afraid that the reinstall will cause me to have to reinstall Ubuntu?!?!

Just trying to see if there is a way to reinstall XP... AND maintain the boot menu so I don't have to reinstall Ubuntu... or is there even something simpler?? :)

Thanks...

The only way I can think of at the moment is to make a backup of your data and to do a reinstall.

After installing the new version of xp, you will have to restore grub.
