It's in your home directory (typically) which is /home/john (assuming your username is john). To back up your data, start computer in live cd mode (without instlling). Mount your partitions and copy your home directory to a different partition (or burn a CD). Do googling for each step. Once you're certain youve back your stuff up, re-install OS including formatting the old installation. @John Kolak: First and foremost thing to do is to back up your data.

This upgrade broke my system! It's probably my fault because I haven't used it for a while, and so I was still on 8.10. When I went to the update manager, it said there were many system updates to install, but I decided to skip them and go directly to the offered upgrade, which was 9.04, not 9.10. I suppose this was a required intermediate step before getting 9.10. This upgrade process froze my computer at the message that it was updating Open Office. After a few reboots and using the automated recovery option on GRUB, the 9.04 installation finally informed me that it had repaired itself. So then the offer to upgrade to 9.10 appeared in the update manager, and I clicked on that. After it finished, it would no longer boot to a desktop. After running the automated recovery option on the GRUB loader several times, it will now load to a command prompt, and I can log in to the terminal, but startx reports error messages EE - No devices detected Fatal error - no screens found xinit: No such file or directory. Unable to connect to X Server. No such process. Server Error It was suggested that I reinstall ubuntu-desktop, but after running that successfully the error messages remain the same. This is rather new to me. If Windows messes up, you can reinstall without losing data or programs, but when I run Install from my Ubuntu live CD it starts by asking me to set up my partitions. Is it possible to reinstall over my previous installation without losing data? Thanks Oh dear! This upgrade broke my system!
