Quick question. I have partitions as such on a drive:
<-/boot-><-----/ Linux -----><---Windows---><-Swap->
Long story short, Linux broke, and how. I left a few disc images downloading and set the machine to shut off after a few days, then left for vacation, so I think it tried to overfill the / partition. My question is, when I reinstall, can I safely remove the first two partitions and put a single one in their place, reinstall Linux, and not disrupt the order of things? Based on
this thread it seems like partition numbering may get messed up, but will Windows care, or is it just how Linux looks at the drive? I don't have much in Windows, really, but I'd rather not spend any more time with it than I have to, especially installing it.
Thanks--
