Asked by tim

 the crash report:
Mount of file system failed. 27d23d-16ad-41ea-b54e-26d628f17f80

then there is:
A maintence shell will be started.....give root password for maintenance

however it doesnt' except my password, if I do control D I get more error messages, it seems my sda8, which is just a storage partition not my root or home, is screwed up.
I'm told to run fsck manually...I don't know how
it says the dev/sda8 is an unconnected directory inode 1726632 (/tmp/???)----]

I'd suggest you boot up a LiveCD/Install CD with ubuntu , then open up a terminal , type sudo fsck /dev/sda8.

Thank-you. Problem solved. Before I close the thread can I ask you a couple questions?
One is I'm interested in browsing securely...I understand there is Tor, but I'm not sure but I thought there is a way to do it with a Live CD with Linux based system. Is that possible. I tried Tor but it just seems to get complicated with pgp keys to verify it etc.

Also I heard there is a damn small linux...but I don't need to get so small for a laptop that isn't so old, but it does seem to hang up when I have more than a few web pages open. I was wondering what would be a good half-way that gives basic features like web browsing, office, email, chat, and movies, yet won't use up the resources of the laptop.

Tor LiveCD - Never heard of such on Ubuntu , there is however other linux livecds to aims towards that just google "LiveCD tor".

Damn small linux is another dist and has little to do with Ubuntu.
