Thanks for your response Bryce, I am thinking of re-installing 9.10 as
the last resort unless you suggest otherwise? But if you think that
might be the best action to take at this point could you provide any
links that may assist me in the process? I found the following but would
be good to have more detail:

Sometimes, in the beginning of your Linux adventure, you'll want to
reinstall Ubuntu. Because you've inadvertently spoiled the system beyond
repair (it happens to us all!).

There are several ways to reinstall, but this is probably the easiest
way to do it:

1. Backup your personal documents, music, pictures et cetera, on an
external storage medium. Like a CD, a DVD, an external hard drive or a
USB memory stick.

2. In Ubuntu 9.10, you can use the Desktop CD: boot your computer from
the Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop CD and start GParted: System - Administration -
GParted. Then use this disk partitioner, to completely destroy the
Ubuntu partitions. Or you can use the free GParted LiveCD for that
(Ubuntu 8.04).

Don't format the Ubuntu partitions, just destroy them. The result will
be unallocated free space.

3. Reboot your computer. Don't remove the Ubuntu CD.

4. Boot again from the Ubuntu CD and choose again "Install Ubuntu".
During it's course, the installation application will automatically
suggest to install Ubuntu on the unallocated free space on the hard
drive. Which is what you want.

After you've agreed to it's proposal, the installer takes automatically
care of the rest!
