Hi everybody,
I have two partitions on my PC (both of them running ubuntu). On one of them, the computer crashed (due to overheating) while upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10. Now I can boot it, but before the login display appears it pops a window telling me that something gone wrong(something related to graphics card and/or IO devices) and offers me some options to try fixing the problem.
I guess the easiest way to fix it would be to reinstall that partition, since there is no data in there that I need to keep. But I'd like to do it without messing with bootloader and without formatting the other partition (the one I'm using right now).
If, when installing ubuntu via a USB storage, I choose "manually edit partitions" and select the partition I want to reinstall, will I correctly reinstall ubuntu on that partition only without changing anything besides that?
