I am running Ubuntu 12.10. I thought I had installed 64-bit but somehow I had installed 32-bit.

I wanted to install 64-Bit Ubuntu over the current installation with my flash drive but whenever I select my flash drive to boot, it boot into Ubuntu anyway.

My computer teacher gave me an Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop Edition DVD. Could I possibly boot from it and delete the partition so I can do a clean installation?

I looked this up for quite some time and I haven't found any answers.

If you have a SATA, SCSI, or SAS HDD, you could unplug the all of the connected HDDs prior to boot, insert the USB drive, boot it, and then plug the drives back in.

If that doesn't work, don't use the 8.04 disc, but burn a 13.04 disc, and then try the above with a disc instead of a USB drive.
