I am using windows 7 . When i click uninstall nothing comes up.
Can anyone please help me on this?

When you reinstall the OS, everything that is on your harddisk will be deleted. So yes, that would ofcourse also delete NetBeans.

Isn't that saved in the VCS or on a server? ;)

Or at least a second partition? It's a good habit to have at least two partitions, one with the operating system and programs, and one with data, music etc.

Especially if you use *nix; having a partition with the /home mount point allows you to reinstall different OSs without losing work.
I am at present using a 64-bit ext4 partition, but calling 32-bit executables on another ext4 partition on the same machine

Can partitions be 32 or 64 bit?? I thought that was a property of the CPU, the OS and the executables only.

Yes, you are right. I have a 64-bit OS on this partition, and can use a 32-bit executable on another partition on the same hard disc.
