I can run it with the live Ubuntu disk, so it does not appear to be a mother board problem. I'm, in my ignorance, assuming that this means that it is either a hard disk problem or the OS itself has been corrupted somehow.
Through the live disk, I have tried to access the content to back it up to an external drive, but it tells me that I do not have permission to read the files. Is there some way of getting around this?
Also, how do I force a check of the hard disk?
Alternately, if this is the problem, is there some way to repair the OS from the live disk?
Of feel free to tell me I have no idea what I'm talking about and suggest some other action.
