I've currently got a Windows XP / Ubuntu 10.04 dual boot, and both OSes are a mess. I want to take advantage of Microsoft's Windows 8 upgrade offer, and make an installer USB stick.
After making the USB, I want to nuke the hard drive (all partitions), install Windows 8 clean, and then, from Windows, install the latest version of Ubuntu.
Will this work, or, more specifically, will the Windows 8 USB let me install (bearing in mind it's an upgrade), if it detects the hard drive it's installing to is completely blank.
