It appears this whole linux experiment was a mistake. The reliability is not at a level I can trust for a business computer. The 11.04 upgrade was not smooth, and now this is just disastrous.
Don't give up on Ubuntu/Linux just yet, once you get set up it's a great system. As for your files, if you create a live CD of 11.10 (or whichever Ubuntu version) you should be able to mount your hard disk and load any important files on a USB memory stick before redoing your install. EDIT: Just make sure you click "Try Ubuntu" when doing this.
