well I messed up my Ubuntu so bad I had to reinstall and thats ok because I changed my file system back to ext3 from ext4. I couldn't access my ubuntu file from windows. Windows xp didnt recognize the ext4 file system. (At least I couldn't get it to.) It will recognize ext3 just fine using a small app.
I am also being allot more carefull what I install and how I use the Root system and I will not be so quick to think its another Linux problem but I will still keep that thought in the back of my mind

At least I remembered to save my important files
