Providing you don't format your partitions during install you should be OK but a complete reinstall sounds a little drastic....why not just try to fix your X server? What errors are coming up in /var/log/XFree86.0.log?

I was trying to reinstall Linux but it gave me an error Media Problem Low Disk Space while loading and displayed message to make some space and after i clicked OK it rebooted. Can u or any one can help me how can I take backup of the Hard Disk on other system. Umesh Hodar, D/222, Samta Bldg.,2nd Floor, Dadi Santuk Lane, Chira Bazar, Mumbai - 2. Mobile 9892590200

Have you got a spare hard drive? If so put that in, install your version of GNU/Linux onto that and then grab any data off the original hard drive. It may be a good idea to actually switch the drives first so that the boot loader gets installed onto the newer drive meaning that at a later date you can remove the old drive and install it into another machine if need be.
