Thread: reinstall screwed windows, while keeping ubuntu partition

-

my windows partition thoroughly screwed. bsod on everything, cannot boot xpcd or erd commander. seems indicate hardware probs, memtest checks out , can access files ubuntu, works fine. ive googled years, gah! havnt found solutions. clean reinstall of xp side, , leave ubuntu untouched, possible? seeing cant boot xp cd?! able boot after deleting partition? in either restoring or reinstalling xp side, while keeping ubuntu great.

dual boot xpsp2/ubuntu8.10 130/30gb respectively
dell vostro 1500 t7500 2.2ghz, 2gb ram
integrated sound/nvidia 8600m gt restricted drivers

i'm not sure why deleting windows partition make difference booting winxp install cd, bit baffled that, last resort suppose may worth try. can install winxp 1 partition without messing ubuntu partition, in fact winxp cd not see ubuntu partition. remove grub, however, , replace windows mbr, don't panic, it's few seconds job put grub afterwards ubuntu live cd.

suppose it's possible windows system has become borked windows cd can not see it, , can nothing @ moment anyway, may delete , try method.

luck! hope things , running again want it.
