You should be able to without issues. However if you wish to preserve
the home & /opt folders in place, then I'd recommend doing an 'in-place'
install. Meaning that you select the partition manually & choose to not
reformat.

That said; I'd work on trying to figure out why the 9.10 upgrade
'trashed' the 9.04. Without further details it's impossible to determine
what went wrong.
