Could you post the unclear install read me to the thread so we can all see what it says? I'm learning a huge amount from these exchanges.

My main priority is getting my mac files as all my school files are on it.

Let me get the full flavor of that post - all your school files are on the mac under OSX and you've been repartitioning and formatting and installing Ubuntu on it and you have no backups of the school files anywhere at all? And they're important to you? Have I got that right?
