Install Linux Mint 7 over 6 but keeping XP

Post by Jojje »

Hello!
I currently have XP and Mint 6 on my laptop.
I want to upgrade to Linux Mint 7 keeping XP but not mint 6.
When I in the install process come to the partion-manager I can't see how I should do.
Can I override mint 6 but not XP?

Select the "manual" partition option and configure so the new version installs over your existing partition (will destroy your current Mint data).

Ok. Thanks!
I am not sure how to do that but I'll give it a try.
I have backed up all my data.
