Deleting additional installation

[whereisshenmue3]

Hi

In my panic when windows erased grub I have re-installed mint.

It now appears twice on the boot loader screen and I assume this means it is using 2 partitions.

How can I either through Mint or Windows 7 delete one of these?

Apologies

Tidying up will mean deleting one installations and then editing the grub menu........not easy. It will be easier to boot the live disk again and delete BOTH mint installs by deleting the partitions (using Gparted) and making 1 new ext4 partition (you can leave the one swap partition as is) and then direct the mint installer to use the new partition which should be formatted as / (root). The new installation will also correctly set up grub again.

i did try to delete the partitions using the boot cd but it disdnt seem to work well

Mint menu/control centre/system

That's on the mint 9 gnome version, and you may need to unmount the hard drive with Gparted before it will let you alter stuff.
