Upgrade to Fedora13 from Fedora 8

[vijay bhide]

I downloaded Fedora 13 preupgrade which is my /boot directory of my existing Fedora 8 installation.I booted to preupgrade image to start upgrade.I reached a stage where 4installation options were offered.One was to remove completely existing installations ,second was removing existing linux installatios,third was to compress existing Ubuntu 10.04 and the last one was to install on free space.In all the options I was prompted to create boot partition of 500MB.In my existing system I have Win XP on sda1 Mandriva on sda 5,Swap on sda 7,Fedora8 on sda 8 and Data(Fat) on sda 6,Ubuntu 9.1 on sda9,Ubuntu 10.04 on sda10.Grub is on MBR.and no boot partition.

I stopped at this stage and cancelled the upgrade process.Which option I should use so that existing system is not disturbed.I am giving below partition table.

Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes

/dev/sda10           5717        6748     8284160   83  Linux

Partition table entries are not in disk order .

I follwed procedure for upgrade mentioned in fedora site except I have not filled /boot with filler files.
