If i were to install another OS would the other OS and their boot loaders be removed when i perform a clean install of another OS?
(cause i was going to dual boot windows and ubuntu until the hard drive partitions became messed up when the install failed)
Are you going to reformat the whole drive?
I don't think they would be REMOVED, they would just go ontop of eachother and cause conflicts.
Oh wait, are you doing a dual boot? Or just reinstalling your OS?
1) Install Windows on one partition
2) Install Linux on the other
3) Let GRUB overwrite Windows's bootloader
4) Setup an entry for Windows in /boot/grub/menu.lst

no i hope i can just have windows and not have GRUB getting in the way when i am done installing windows again
If you format the hard drive EVERYTHING is removed. That includes GRUB.
Although I don't know why you wouldn't want GRUB...
It will rewrite grub with the windows boot-loader. If you were installing windows wile ubuntu was there its a different story.
Right its ok i resolved the problem, thanks for your replys
