Failed to install dual boot Lubuntu and Puppy Linux

[asiangoddess]

Hi! I should have installed puppy using a frugal install, but I made the mistake of trying to install puppy first, and then lubuntu. Then I felt that I didn't get it to work so I tried to reinstall lubuntu and run a frugal install of puppy so that I have both operating systems running side by side. I tried to follow the instructions found on http://helpforlinux.blogspot.com/200...in-ubuntu.html but could not find the menu.1st file. I tried to delete everything on my computer and start from scratch. I even tried to just delete all the puppy files but it would tell me that this was denied. When I reinstalled lubuntu, puppy files were reinstalled too! Now, I can't seem to run update manager to update my system. Is there a way to totally wipe out everything in my hard drive and just start from scratch? Or is there another way to fix this issue?

I just want to remove puppy because I think it is messing with my system because of the full install I did earlier. I'm so clueless!

I don't know what to do! Please help. Thanks!

You might post this to the Ubuntu Forum, which covers Lubuntu - http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=326

yes and its very easy. first insert the distro install disk of your choice, if you want to end up w/ puppy put in its install disk or use the lubuntu installer disk when you get to the disk formating part erase all partitions and create new ones. this will erase all data and then you can install fresh from a clean disk.
