Help with log in problem

[Master Cougar]

Hello,
  I hope this is the right list for this. I am posting this help request for
the third time.  First my setup.

  I have a SATA Hard drive, partitioned with Windows XP and Ubuntu Edgy on
it. Until a few days ago I had no problem loging into either Ubuntu or
Windows. Now, i can only log in to Windows.  When I choose Ubuntu at the
Boot menu, I get to the log in screen, I enter my username press enter.
enter my password, press enter. Then, the screen goes black, and then comes
back to the log in screen.

  Following the instructions I read elswhere about using the Live CD and
mounting a windows Hard drive I booted using the LiveCD, when I do fdisk -l
/dev/hda I get some weird data, and the message Missing partition.

  Any suggestions?
