disk space maxed, loopO cause.booterror-fatal?

Can you boot into recovery mode - root command prompt?

No

What does the screen show, when you try booting?

You can boot the live Ubuntu CD then chroot to the installed OS and recover the system

when i boot itsays . disk fails can not read initial boot will not let me use defaults or use system recovery or changeanything

Run a chkdsk from the live CD desktop

ubuntu does not want to do chkdsk beyond seems to be out of my reach also no partition

It seems that there is something wrong with the hard disk and/or the partitions on it.
You need to boot into an Ubuntu system from another medium (i.e. an installation DVD or a bootable USB stick), and verify the contents of the hard disk.

Do you own an installation DVD or a USB stick that has been set up as installation device?
If not, can you create one?

I seem to be blocked in that did i mention the eternal loop? I have a reboot disc that brings to 10.04 I cant download ubuntu because of disk space but i can run try ubuntu whitch seems to be blocked of most ( to my abilty) sugestions i am stubron but this has pu me in tow

You have to boot the installation disk (set the boot sequence in the computer's BIOS to boot from the CD/DVD first), and then select 'Try Ubuntu without installing'.

When you see an Ubuntu desktop, start the disk management tool and verify the hard disk.

You can also access the hard disk contents and delete some files, e.g. those in /media/(disk-ID)/var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb

If you have problems following our advice, please tell us at what point you run into troubles, and what you see on the screen at that moment.

Please explain, I cannot understand a word in you last comment.

  vol_id_opt=--type
  blkid_tag=TYPE
  ;;
 --label)
  vol_id_opt=--label
  blkid_tag=LABEL
  ;;
 --uuid)
  vol_id_opt=--uuid
  blkid_tag=UUID
  ;;
 *)
  usage >&2
  exit 1
  ;;

This seems to be a snipped from one of the installer files (block-attr).

Do you think that there is something wrong with it, or why do you post this?

(installer file}> PATH="/lib/udev:$PATH" vol_id "$vol_id_opt" "$1"

And what is the problem with that shell script snippet?

If you do not clearly describe what your problem is, we cannot help.

Even if this is not a bug report, but a question document, you might considering to follow the advice in http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html how to best communicate IT problems

Please describe in easy-to-understand words:
1. What you wanted to do
2. What steps you took
3. What you expected to happen
4. What happened instead

heres what it is loopO im lost

I am willing to help but I cannot, because you are only pasting snippets of code without context, instead of describing

1. What you wanted to do
2. What steps you took
3. What you expected to happen
4. What happened instead
