I have 32bit 11.10 installed on an LVM disk taking up all 500 GB, and I would like to install 64bit 12.04 on top, preserving the data in my home directory.

I used to do that pre-LVM by just not formatting the partition mounted as /home, installing over / and /usr and formatting /tmp, But now it don't recognize the partition table.

I've never had much luck with upgrade and so I just install afresh when I want a new version.

Surely I can do what I want, can't I?

You need to make a new install with formatting all partitions except home partition.

    Can you provide more detail? Right now, this doesn't seem to say anything different from what the OP tried said he tried to do, in the question.
