Hi Wirezfree
Thanks for your suggestion - I've already considered that but the options given to me were:
1. Installing alongside existing Lite 2.2 (obviously no point)
2. Replace existing Lite 2.2 (I considered this option but it gave me no guarantee I would have access to all of the hard drive)
3. Something else, which is resizing the partitions, which is where I'm at.
The other 2 options were to encrypt the new Linux installation for security and use LVM with the new Linux installation. Not sure what would have happened if I had checked these - I'm still in the beginner stage of my knowledge of Linux!
I have no issues wiping the floor again and trying a fresh reinstall, however I want to know beforehand I will have access to all of the hard drive.
Any further suggestions appreciated.
Paul
