    Triple boot - refit - reinstall windows 7

    Hello Community,

    I currently have a MBP, where I have installed and enjoyed Mac OS X, Ubuntu (from 10-12), and Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

    I want to install (a new) windows 7 (a 32 bit version) - and either delete the 64 bit version, or resize the partition (doesn't matter).

    The last time I did anything similar, the rEFit got all messed up, and I could only boot Mac OS X.

    I just re-installed them all new again.

    I would rather not do that, this time around - though perhaps that is my best option?

    My question is, does anyone know of simple steps required to simply install the Windows 7 (32-bit) over the Windows 7 (64-bit),
    without destroying my Ubuntu and Mac OS installs - or booting process?

    Any tips would be appreciated. I rather come here before I mess things up, then after - if I can avoid something dumb =)

    Thanks,
    Mat

    Ok, in case anyone one is a worry rat like me.

    It's easy. Just -reinstall windows on the same partition that had windows on it before, and for me - at least, there have been no issues.

    Interesting when things just work =)
