I've just completed transferring about 18 hours of home video from VHS to DVD, and in turn ripped the contents of the DVDs onto my computer using Acidrip. The videos are all in mpg format.

I've successfully used a program called Scalpel to recover deleted documents in the past. A pretty good guide for using it can be found here:

I'd start here, with step 2.1:

You could use a Live CD or USB to boot the computer, install gparted that way (actually, depending on the distro, it may already be installed) and resize the partition that way.
Just a quick search brought me to this:

From my own experience: Pencil looks great on paper (forgive the pun) but it is incredibly limited in terms of features, and about half of the features that do exist are broken in some critical way....

This looks pretty similar. Do those steps help at all?
Looks like you're right. If you set it up like in the screenshot (except for the file size), it *should* install new system files but leave your user data intact.
Should...
Check out this bug report, looks like the exact same problem:

I don't think that would be very practical, if even possible. If for no other reason, the latency alone whenever you switch machines might be a showstopper. Also, if you shared your home folder,...
Just curious, is your old password recognized after the screen locks?
Also, I'm wondering if maybe there's a bug with the system recognizing certain characters when resuming from suspend. For...
Awesome! +1 for bootfix & gparted.
First off, if backing up the data in your home folder to an external device is at all an option, I'd do that before anything.
Something you can try: either use your current live CD to install...
Again with the boot-to-terminal idea, if it's a non-user level startup process causing the issue, you can troubleshoot that with the commands here:...
Ouch.
Can you boot to the command line at least? If so, there's probably some file you can delete from your home folder, but what I'd actually do is create a new user account and try to boot to...
I once had a very similar problem with PvZ, and I actually fixed it from within the game itself. From the main menu, go to options and turn off Hardware Acceleration. You may also have luck...
Some additional context would be helpful. Are Windows and Ubuntu on separate partitions... or was it installed in Windows with Wubi? Does it just boot to Windows w/an inoperable mouse and keyboard......
Never had this particular problem, but try this:
Boot the machine and hold down the left shift key... if left shift doesn't work use Escape. It should get you to the advanced start-up menu... you...
Should be fine (I think they just use live cd to generically reference a live environment).

Just switched to Mint 12 64-bit... was using Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit previously. I think I upgraded too early, but I got a new HD and figured, since I needed to set up a new OS anyway, I might as well...

This may be a little different depending on which desktop environment you're using, but maybe something like this:
