There is a lot of room on the hardrive. If I did a second install next

Running the "Try Ubuntu mode" of the install CD doesn't let you change
the permissions to go and get them.

The first rule of being a doctor is not to make the patient any worse.
;-) So... first thing I suggest is just to take your time with this and
to stay calm. You haven't lost data, and this is fixable without
needing a reinstall. Even if you think you've stepped on critical
system files this is fixable. A reinstall will work too if that's
really what you want to do -- that's up to you.
To get access to your files in the meantime I suggest using a LiveCD of
some kind and then using that to mount the partition with your data on
it in order to get access to it, transfer it, etc.
