linux live cd ………………help?
can i use a usb drive like a hard drive to save stuff when i am using a live cd.?
for example – i want to download stuff from the repositorys and download flashplayer so i can watch youtube.
does frequent formatting and changing partitions cause bad sectors in hard disk?
i used to format and change the size of partitions every month to try different flavors of linux and my hard disk developed bad sectors and i had to send it for a replacement,at the moment i am using mandriva live cd to run basic stuff as i don have a hard disk

Reinstall Linux on Dual-boot?
I’m somewhat new to linux and such, however I installed Ubuntu on my machine that was already running XP. I did that about a week ago and I have been messing around with Ubuntu and somehow screwed stuff up to the point where there are errors at startup and shutdown (tried googling to fix them which I couldn’t find a solution). I don’t really remember what I did to cause these errors, but since I only installed Ubuntu about a week ago I thought can’t I just go through the same installation process again on the same partition? I put in the live CD and tried to go through the installation process again, however at the end of this they said they were going to install it on partition 1 (My partition with XP) and the grub bootloader on partition 5.
So my question is, is there any easy way to reinstall Ubuntu so I can have it fresh and error free like it was to start with? In the Live CD is there a way to select what partition I want to install Ubuntu to (I looked and couldn’t find)?
