re-install over the partition it's currently in.

[Bongo5HH]

Hi All,

I've currently got both HH and II installed on the same hard drive. I'd like to delete my II install, as I've done something horribly wrong with it... lol but I don't really know how to install over that partition without destroying my HH partition.

Help?

Thanks,
Kev

Are they on separate partitions? You should be able to run

fdisk -lu

and see the disk partitions, and figure out (based on whichever you are booted into at the time) which one is II.

That didn't do anything... lol

Oooops. How about

sudo fdisk -lu

that worked! funny it didn't even give me anything, not even an error, doing it without sudo.

I assume this means that the linux I'm in currently is on sdb1
