Spilled the Beans
I don't have a surge protector. Well, I don't know exactly why it is not working... When I put a CD in Windows, the OS display the cursor with a CD (I think this means that Windows recognize the cd driver), but after that it stops reading... I think it is a problem with drivers... Some days ago it was working (not perfectly, but was working).
I don't know if the fstab is the only file needed, but I can try to recover it, how can I do that?

so, I will try to do this live USB. Thanks you all!
Way Too Much Ubuntu
Once I had this problem (with older version) but most of the files were not showing up and I could not boot normally so I used fsck -p and it fixed it.
you have to boot in a single user mode / recovery mode(I hope you still can) then use the fsck -p to fix errors.

I'm back baby.
Hi
One of us should have asked. Is this a partition install or a WUBI install ?
Kind regards

It's a partition install. I can't boot in recovery mode too =/ I just can boot on Win7 that is in /dev/sda1
Chocolate-Covered Ubuntu Beans
I recommend to prepare a Ubuntu Live USB and then run Boot Info Script:

I have prepared the Live USB using the UNetBootin, the menu with installing options appears. I have selected "Try Ubuntu without install". Then the Ubuntu logo and a loading bar has appeared, and nothing happened after that... I waited several minutes, but it seemed like nothing was happening... :/
Is there any command that I can do in the Initramfs to show my partitions or to fix the fstab file?

I have tested the Live USB in another computer and it works.

I have created a Live USB from Ubuntu Recover Remix for Lucid in
http://ubuntu-rescue-remix.org/node/466
Listed the partitions with
sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda
Then I made a file system check with
sudo fsck -yv /dev/sda4
(/dev/sda4 because is the partition corrupted in my case)
Very grateful for the forum help!! (=
