Tony, back up the files and save the old hard drive as is. use a new hard drive for the new install.
This will accomplish three things: 1) the old hard drive is old and its lifespan is limited, you want to get a new one 2) You have a bulletproof backup just in case if you forgot to save some files 3) For a low price, you will likely get yourself much more disk space. i On Sun, Feb 6, 2011 at 9:46 AM, Tony Zampini <zampi...@cox.net> wrote: > Stuart, > Thanks for your quick reply. > > If I install 10.04 from the Live CD, will that wipe > out all my existing stuff, like my web browser, email > client, etc.?
