boot ubuntu live
in terminal:
sudo passwd root - then give root a password
su
mkdir drive
mount /dev/sdXY drive (Replace X/Y with the drive/partition of your
system - use fdisk if unsure of partition)
cd drive
then have a look through the logs/find out where all the space has gone -
sounds like some bad logging somewhere maybe? Check the most recent log
files by date first maybe.
df -h will show you your available/used space if you need it
Hopefully, once you have some free space, you'll be able to startx from your
own drive :)
Your passwords for your main system should remain as they were earlier, the
password aboev is just to let you get quick access to root - which am sure
will help in this case :)
Good luck
Steve
