well... Okay here's a longer answer... You could in theory delete
everything besides your home folder, then install on partition, and
manually make a user when you're done the install

And I meant to say I have '700GB of data', not '700MB'.

Right now? Back it up and do a full install. Otherwise ? Use a separate
home partition.

I tried to install TDE-Kubuntu Precise (

is another version of linux there.
I was then offered a choice to 'install alongside' (I don't have enough
space) or to 'replace current linux'.
I chose 'replace current linux' but was told this would use the entire
disk and all of my personal files would be erased! I want to install the
new OS,
I don't want to format the entire drive and lose all of my files.
Is there a way to install linux without losing 700MB of my personal files?
