just random characters for the names and none of the normal files and folders werevisible
so i went to reformat the hardrive and it said the total hd size was 130gb when its a 160gb hd
idk i think i screwed it all up, thanx for the help though...Microsoft isn't evil, they just make really crappy operating systems.

Are you able to boot up with the Super GRUB CD? if so, does it allow you an output for
Code:fdisk -l

Try booting from the Ubuntu live CD again and run sudo fdisk -l ... does it show valid partition information? Something like testdisk may help you out of a spot ... I've used it to recover partition information but not had that much sucess with files.
How valuable is the data to you?
When you tried the re-install of Xubuntu how did the partition info get trashed?
