The LWP can be (re)installed by the user. For a dual-boot installation you will need at least 180GB of HDD space. The LWP will claim 80GB and the UWP 100GB. The procedure differs for LWP-only and dual-boot systems, but for both (and actually any and all) cases, it is recommended to make a backup of all your locally stored data. The following has to be done to reinstall your system.

Make a backup of your data on the hard-disk, if any, and restart your PC!

LWP only
If you are upgrading from LWP1 to LWP2, it is necessary to remove the previous partitions from your harddisk first! LWP2 claims more space on the harddrive, than LWP1 did, so it will not fit within the old partitions and give an error if you try to install it anyway. Here's an explanation on how do that.
  1. At startup, press F12 to boot from the network.
  2. From the menu, choose Install LWP2. (password = iamsure)
  3. The installation can take up to ~90 minutes depending on your machine.
  4. Press Enter to finish and restart the computer.
  5. When the LWP starts for the first time it will display a message on the login screen telling you what is still being configured. This should disappear after 5-10 minutes and should not appear on subsequent boots.
Dual-boot
If only the LWP has to be reinstalled follow the procudure for LWP only.
  1. Ask the servicedesk to install the UWP2 on your machine.
    Note! When using the unattended install for the UWP2, first create a 100GB primary partition on the HDD before starting the unattended installation, else it will create a 100mb partition in front of the 100GB partition. Then when installing the UWP2, select the partition you created to install it in.
  2. Follow the procudure for LWP only.
