If I'm not mis-reading, your Ubuntu distro is running fine still. Why not copy off your data using this instead, then wipe everything and do a clean reinstall?
If the computer was "uncleanly" shut down, you cannot access the main drive; I can't boot windows to "cleanly" shut down so I don't have too many options... As for wiping everything out, I've considered that but I also loose the recovery partition(aka reinstall windows utility); I'm not about to pay HP $15 for some stupid recovery disks that should have been included...
