    Ubuntu suddenly won't boot!

    *edit* WOW I'm sorry I was really dumb. I had a USB drive plugged into the back that it was attempting to boot from. Please delete this. :/

    Hi

    Your disk might be corrupted (very possible with a hard reset depending on system). To check, boot an Ubuntu live CD, click 'try ubuntu' and go to system > administration > disk utility.

    From there, you need to select the appropriate drive and there should be a button marked 'check' (or something similar).

    If it turns out it is

    Really sorry for your time. I was being EXTREMELY stupid and I didn't realize I had a USB plugged into the back. *facepalm*
