I have downloaded a bad version of wine and so my applications no longer work. I am finding it hard to locate all the programs that I downloaded using it and thought that it would be easier to just wipe my system and start again. Is there a simple way of doing this?

I don't have a disc drive so if there is an option to do this from USB that would be great.

Thanks for any help

  • @the_Seppi I have edited to ask if there is an option that doesn't include a cd drive – hmmmm Sep 23 '14 at 20:11
  • Just use the live USB instead then... – Tim Sep 23 '14 at 20:14
  • Just delete the c directory for wine and reinstall wine. Put more information about your problem if that does not work please. – nixeagle Sep 23 '14 at 20:18
  • @Tim It's just a bunch files, is there one that I should run or anything? – hmmmm Sep 23 '14 at 20:57
  • Restart and set the bios to boot from usb. – Tim Sep 23 '14 at 20:58
  • @Tim How do I set the BIOS in Ubuntu? – hmmmm Sep 23 '14 at 21:00
  • Just the same as windows - how did you first install with cd? Restart, open bios with either `del` or `F2` or `F12` (it will say when it boots up). Then chose under `boot order` to boot with `USB` or `removable media`. – Tim Sep 23 '14 at 21:07
  • @Tim I installed it from USB but from windows 8 you have to change the BIOS in the setting. It just boots straight up to Ubuntu now as I don't have windows anymore. – hmmmm Sep 23 '14 at 21:12
  • Trust me, the BIOS is still there... Ubuntu doesn't remove bios. – Tim Sep 24 '14 at 14:40
  • @Tim I wasn't saying that it had removed anything just that I don't know how to access them to change my boot options so as to boot from a USB. The screen where you would open the BIOS when booting up is no longer there, it wasn't there when I had windows 8 either you had to go into some settings to get to it. – hmmmm Sep 25 '14 at 15:13
  • Try using Del or F2 or F8 or F12 while it boots... – Tim Sep 25 '14 at 16:02
