If you do an install there is normally a stage where the installer asks you if you want to keep the current partitioning or use a new one. Let it use a new one (can be the same but you want it to write the new stuff to disk to make sure) and it should ask if you want it formatting - say yes to this as that will wipe the system clean enuf. However you may be able to use your 6.06 install to REPAIR the current installation if theres anything you want to recover.
