Thread: Reinstall newer version of Ubuntu on an existing partition


greetings !

started windows 7 machine , wanted have ubuntu well.
used "install side side" option install 9.10. had dual boot system (ubuntu 9.10 , windows 7) grub loader.

after point, got "black screen" when boot ubuntu, because of display driver incompatibility, specific laptop (lenovo g550).

did not bother fix issue, because had going. used wubi install 9.04 inside windows, worked well.

want upgrade ubuntu 10.04. want fresh install of 10.04 on 9.10 (which not working).

how can ? want without losing on of partitions (windows 7 or ubuntu 9.04) except 1 on 9.10 installed.

help.
anupama.

welcome forums.

need use manual install or else. give option choose partitions use / (root), /home , swap exists should automatically find it. have specify format ext4 / , /home if have it. if have /home want save data not check format on /home.

can livecd use gparted , delete / & swap partitions , let install side side unallocated space.

hello! i'm trying setup software raid on server, fail @ first step: code: root@sandnabba:/root# mdadm -c /dev/md0 -c512 -l5 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1 mdadm: no raid-devices specified. what doing wrong!? are sure -c equivalent --create? also, think need space after -c , -l options, value shouldn't command, or should have = between. @ man pages mdadm , double check spelling.
