Xubuntu Reinstallation Problems.

**xXPentarchXx** · 02-07-2011

Alright. Now I installed Xubuntu along side with Windows 7 on my netbook, although now my Windows is fucked, and I can't even REINSTALL so I can take the partition back, and use the entire drive for my computer. I am not even able to reboot with a disk without the grub popping up saying all of my options, which are

Code:

Ubuntu (normal boot)
Ubuntu (recovery)
memory test (1)
memory test (2)
Windows Vista Loader
Windows 7 Loader

Alright, now I want all of it gone excluding memory test and Xubuntu... How would I do this. My netbook has a USB External Optical Drive attached, that is recognized by my BIOS settings. I am unable to find the drive within Xubuntu though... How would I go about reformatting everything?

Why do you use Linux?
I don't think it's useful.

I am using Linux because I am tired of Windows, and I want the open source :P I am wanting to Learn C++ elsewhere OH FUCK!!! I lost all of my fuckin PDFs... For fuck sakes... *Sigh* whatever :P I need a new OS anyways.

Boot into vista and erase the other partitions. Explore them first and backup any important data you have.

That is the problem... Only working OS is Xubuntu

Vista Loader is deleted, and the Windows 7 doesn't work for some reason... Only one hard drive... I do have other disks, and I CAN burn RedHat?

Edit:

Vista loader isn't vista... It is Acer eRecovery thangy

Problem solved, reformatting the entire drive using Acer eRecover Thangy... Appears to be built into the computer

Thanks and +Rep is in order for

sir!
