Sorry but uninstalling and reinstalling sounds like more of a Windows
way of doing things than a UNIX way of doing things. This is like
demolishing and rebuilding the house just to change the wallpaper.
setup.exe doesn't do anything special with the mount table. So, using
mount is perfectly fine. It will take a lot less time. Just look at
the output from mount and make sure that all of the mount entries match
the new layout.
