Installing Arch without reformatting drive
 
Is is possible to install Arch Linux without reformatting the hard drive?
I can delete my current OS but I can't delete /home. My games and music are
stored there.

Any advice?

Is /home a separate partition from /? If so, yes, just set it to be mounted as /home in the new os, I do thi sall the time when I decide to try out a different OS from what I'm currently running. Just be sure you're sure which partition is which.

No, not on a separate drive. But you gave me an idea.
Solved!
