Dual booting problem

[t3v4]

Hello everybody.

I have a problem with my pc
i have WinXP in sda1 and Ubutu linux in sda2
when i install ubutu i choose the boot loader in sda2 then i mark it as active patition.

Now i need to reinstall WinXp because of problems of viruses which make it stupid

What is the way to remove windows and intall it again without removing Ubuntu ?

thanks in advance

Hi
You can just reinstall windoze on the same partition(sda0). The others will read unknown in setup.
Windoze will take over grub though and you'll be unable to load grub to start linux. This can be fixed via the ubuntu live cd. For more info check out ubuntu's forums, there's a couple of links with step by steps.
Hope this helps.
