was installing 9.10 when computer crashed

Asked by Evan Perrie

my computer crashed mid install of 9.10 . now my hard drive is divided into two sections , windows xp and 9.10 (which has half a dozen broken files). i went to install 9.10 again but when i went to re format my hard drive again it split it into three sections, windows xp , 9.10 and the 9.10 that i would be re installing. how can i start fresh with my hard drive all on windows again so i can split the whole thing again in two and hope it just finishes the install. my computer has bad timing when it decides to crash.

When installing, it asks you about the partitions. Delete the two 9.10 partitions and make a new, single partition out of the unallocated space.
