I had Win7 installed on my laptop, then created a partition and installed Ubuntu on it so I can dual boot. However, being pretty new to Ubuntu I have messed around too much and would simply like to reinstall Ubuntu (I still have the .iso on a DVD). I don't care about backing up anything have on it. Is it a risk-free process just restarting with the DVD in and reinstalling from there?
I've haven't found a tutorial for this anywhere online, but I have found stories of people with Windows 8 (partitioned with Ubuntu) trying this and wiping out Windows.
By the way, if you can suggest a better way of getting back to a fresh installation of Ubuntu without reinstalling from the disk, I'd be happy to that too, but again, I couldn't find any way of doing that from searching the forums.
Thanks.
