I'll try to get back on here with some more info, but this morning 
when I booted up Linux on my box at home it said maximum number of 
mounts reached and ran fsck... no problem... Or so I thought...
Fsck proceeded to spew some nasty error messages about inaccessible 
spots on my hard drive and dropped me into a shell to run fsck 
manually.
so I did and it was talking about unrecoverable errors in certain 
places on my hard drive..  now X doesn't work anymore...  is my hard 
drive actually dying or could I solve this with a reformat and 
reinstall?

frsutrated and more than slightly clueless,
