Thread: Reinstalling Ubuntu to same partition
recently, ubuntu installation messed when computer crashed during upgrade. therefore need reinstall ubuntu scratch, , have made usb stick latest version. however, unsure partitioning part of installation.
computer set dual boot both ubuntu , windows 7. point installer says have multiple oss installed, , asks whether install alongside, erase disk, or else.
assume need select else, , can identify ubuntu partitions in screen shows (an ext4 partition @ /dev/sda5 , swap partition @ /dev/sda6), not clear me need in screen. want use same partitions had ubuntu installed on before. meant here? in advance.
choose ext4 partition (/dev/sda5)
right click edit it.
choose use ext4 journaling file system.
choose format it.
give mountpoint of /
installer should recognise swap partition check recognised swap space if like.
do not touch other partitions
that's it.
except backing don't want loose. partitioning drives can go wrong.
