I have a laptop which has both windows 7 64 bit & ubuntu 10.04 installed.
At boot time, the grub menu comes up & I can select to boot windows or Ubuntu.
That works fine.
I now want to replace the ubuntu 10.04 with 10.10 64 bit
here is what Gparted shows for my disk allocation
/dev/sda1 ntfs system reserved 100MiB 33.59MiB 66.41MiB(flags boot)
/dev/sda2 ntfs 97.56GiB 29.02GiB 68.54GiB
/dev/sda3 extended 51.39GiB
/dev/sda5 ext4 49.25GiB 5.11GiB 44.14GiB
/dev/sda6 linux-swap 2.14GiB
I have the iso for Ubuntu 64 bit
I got to the allocate drive space, i assume i need to specify partitions manually ?
if so, the next screen asks device for boot loader installation - is that dev/sda1 ?
then the only button on the screen is install now - how will the installation know that i want to replace the previous version or will there be more questions later on ?
sorry to be a total newb :confused:
