Ok guys, I have a dual booting laptop that has both windows 7 on it and ubuntu 14.04.
I was messing around on ubuntu and did some stuff with the nvidia drivers that Im not quite sure how to fix.
I dont have any backups (lesson learned) and being that I havent had it very long dont have anything on there that is irreplaceable (a.k.a wiping it and then doing a clean install is perfectly fine with me).

So I was wondering how I would do a fresh install of ubuntu 14.04 without screwing up grub or my windows 7 partition.

All I want to do is wipe out the ubuntu side and re-install it back on there.
Do I just go through the same process as dual booting or is there something special I must do now that I have some different partitons (the ubuntu one and the swap space) before I can re-install it?

Im still pretty new at this stuff so as detailed as possible is appreciated,
Thanks for all your help! :)
