Question #77119 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/77119

    Status: Answered => Open

jkinnell is still having a problem:
Damiano;

The upgrade problem kept getting worse.  I could not get even 6.06 to
work.

Finally I installed 8.10 from a CD.  Rather than use the normal installation 
I selected the load driver approach.

This worked!

I must admit trepidation about Ubuntu,  I user should never be able to bring 
the system down by entering or deleting data.

Thanks again,

Jack Kinnell

Damiano Venturin proposed the following answer:
the situation is not clear to me
actionparsnip  is right but if you didn't import your data back and u really 
perfomed a full format ... that process is useless

in your shoes I would download 9.04 and then proceed to a full reinstall 
beeing sure to format every partition
after this process, if you still have troubles, post here again

enjoy!
