A reinstall can be the same as an install.  Is the problem you used to be
able to log into Linux but now you cannot, or is it that some portion of
Linux is not working properly and you feel that a reinstall will correct
the
problem?  Do you have data or software on your Linux partitions that
you do not want to lose?  Since you have said `reinstall' it suggests
you have the install materials (cd-roms and instruction manual) and
have previous experience in installing (Linux was installed previously),
hence you should apparently know to some degree and can read the
manuals on how to install/reinstall.  It would be good to have a clearer
understanding of: (1) the condition of your computer with respect to
Linux, (2) the reason(s) why you want to reinstall, (3) your experience
with installing (who installed Linux previously?), and (4) the materials
you have (cd-roms, documentation, manuals) with which to perform an
install.
