I'm trying to reinstall LL on my hard drive after losing wifi after I installed the updates. When I go to install LL using the CD, I have the option to install LL alongside Windows XP. I already have LL installed alongside XP. I don't want two LL operating systems & XP installed. I want to reinstall LL over the existing LL. I believe, I have to delete one of the partitions (number 5) but it won't let me. Below are my partitions on my hard drive. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
