dual-boot

I have the following system set up: 2 drives, 1 TB each, one with Windows 7 and the other with what used to be Ubuntu 11.x

After an update my system became corrupted and now the file system is apparently corrupt.

The Ubuntu drive is /dev/sda2, the Windows 7 is /dev/sda1.

I've tried fsck /dev/sda2 -t ext3 and that does nothing. I'm not sure what to do at this point.

I don't even mind wiping the /dev/sda2 drive clean, so it will at least accept a completely new installation of Ubuntu.

I just don't know how to do that.

Please help. Thank you

I wish to dual boot Windows XP and Windows 7. I wish to have my documents available from both OSes. Do I create a single partition and it just works? 2 partitions, one for each OS? 3 partitions, one for each OS and one for the "my documents"? [EDIT] I used 3 partitions, one for each partition and… >>> More
