Yes. Whenever you install Ubuntu or any of its official variants, just make
sure to install GRUB into the MBR of your HDD. This is the best way ever. I
have done 1000s of installations in 4 years and I always do that and always
choose 'Something Else' to take more control over the installation process
;)

As long as you have backed up your important files, worry not :)

I have sent you two good links, have a look and bookmark these for future
reference.

Re-installing Linux doesn't need anything else except formatting the root
partition and if my memory still remember correctly, it is also safe to
keep /home without formatting but I have seen some people reporting some
kind of settings problems but that was long ago. To play it safe make sure
to backup. Did I mention to backup? :P

I will teach you that later. I am writing this with a strong pain in neck
and shoulder. Don't worry about that now :)

If you have any other Q, let us know :)
