This is probably not an appropriate place for this but...

Reformatting sounds a bit drastic.

Have you tried booting without xorg.conf file?
In many cases, Xserver can start without xorg.conf file.

 1. At Grub, Cntrl_alt+F1 to enter the terminal.
 2. Log in and goto /etc/X11/:    cd /etc/X11/
 3. Rename xorg.conf:    mv xorg.conf oldexorg.conf
 4. Restart:    sudo shutdown -r now

If it works, it should at least give you a working GUI.
If there are no workign drivers suitable for your GeForce GT 330M, you could 
try temporary workaround suggested by Voynix here:

It downgrades your Xserver to the Lucid version and allows the use of the old 
Nvidia drivers. Its not pretty but it worked for me until Nvidia released their 
new driver.
