Mates,

I have an XP and 8.2 dual boot that I would like to remove 8.2 and install 9.2 in its place. It seems like the easiest way to do this is to just boot from the 9.2 DVD and tell it to wipe out the 8.2 install and put 9.2 in its place. I do not want to destroy the XP install. Is there anything special I need to do? Anybody run into any problems doing this?

Back up all the files necessary, and install. You'll have best results, if you go with a "new" install and format the partitions. Hopefully /home is on it's own partition, which you don't have to format. The only problem with this method, is that you'll still have Windows on your computer. ;-)
