i have non-functional installation of 14.04, byproduct of failed upgrade 16.04 , attempt @ reinstalling 14.04. related to

install ubuntu iso... cannot install grub

broken 14.04 lts while upgrading 16.04

so want reinstall 14.04, wiping previous installs. want data partition sda4 untouched , accesible. posible? option should selected installation menú?

i'm assuming have system partition separate data partition sda4. not sure if sda4 /home partition. these instructions assume is. if not, must add /home partition in same manner / partition added in these instructions.

first, data partition. boot live usb

choose else option in installer.

on partition screen:

double click system partition (sda1 or whatever)

use ext4 journaling file system

format partition

mount point /

double click home partition (sda4 or whatever) << this data partition

use ext4 journaling file system

do not format partition

just make sure says use swap area

at bottom of screen, device boot loader installation, set system disk (sda)
