Whenever you install Ubuntu or any of its official variants, just make sure to install GRUB into the MBR of your HDD. This is the best way ever. I have done 1000s of installations in 4 years and I always do that and always choose 'Something Else' to take more control over the installation process ;) As long as you have backed up your important files, worry not :) I have sent you two good links, have a look and bookmark these for future reference. > i don't think I'm going to uninstall it soon, but i will probably > reinstall it for the 14.4 update when it comes out. > Re-installing Linux doesn't need anything else except formatting the root partition and if my memory still remember correctly, it is also safe to keep /home without formatting but I have seen some people reporting some kind of settings problems but that was long ago. To play it safe make sure to backup.
