Reinstall ubuntu on an existing ubuntu partition

I have a computer that is dual booted with Windows Vista and Ubuntu. I have had Ubuntu for a long time now and during that time I have learned how to use it by tinkering around with it. This, of course, has lead to some problems. I would like to somehow reinstall Ubuntu on the same partition but keep Windows intact.

"If you don't need the data on the Ubuntu partition, simply install over the top.

Boot from Ubuntu install CD as usual, then manually edit partitions. Delete the Ubuntu system partition and the swap partition. Go back and chose automatic install, and the partitioner should recreate fresh partitions for you in the same place."
