When i try to install UBUNTU 11.04 it shows me the warning that there is no OS on my hard disk.But i have windows XP SP3 & UBUNTU 10.04 on my hard disk.
Will all the files be deleted on my hard disk containing Windows XP if i install UBUNTU 11.04?
How can i solve the problem?

More informaiton is needed. perhaps running bootinfoscript can shed some light: http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/

Use the live CD to download and run the script. Then pos it here using code tags (# icon)

you will need to select to install it manually/partition manually and then select the current ubuntu disk parittion to be overwritten.

If you don't have anything important on Ubuntu partition, then an easier method would be to delete the Ubuntu partition and then install 11.04 on available free disk space.
