friends,

I have a dual boot machine ( dell percision 670 )
it boots xp and ubuntu studio 7.04.

I wish to upgrade my ubuntu studio from 7.04 to ubuntu studio 8.10 and leave the windows xp unchanged.

can I simply Upgrade / replace my 7.04 w 8.10 ubuntu studio?

do i need to remove partitions or any of that?
also I can presently mount a second drive via NTFS -- will that change or stay?

Thanks!
Thnaks Much!

If you are upgrading you would need to upgrade step by step eg 7.04 to 7.10 - 8.04 - 8.10
Or save all your important stuff and do a clean install of 8.10
