Hello!
If I felt I had to reinstall Linux Lite, I would select 'Something Else', select to format sda5, and install the replacement LL to replace the current one in sda5. However, depending on the wireless card you have, if you can get online another way (LAN cable, tethered phone, etc.), it might be easier to just pull down and reinstall the affected drivers instead - ESPECIALLY if you've installed a lot of software after you installed your current one...

Linux Lite: 2.0
I'm trying to reinstall LL on my hard drive after losing wifi due to installing updates. When I go to install LL using the CD, I have the option to install LL alongside Windows XP. I've already installed LL 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. I need to know which partition to delete. Below are my partitions on my hard drive. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
