I have done a big mistake of upgrading my system from Ubuntu 8.04 to 10.04. After the upgrade the system keeps on crashing now and then because of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/541492

8.04.4 LTS was just working great for me.

Does anyone know how to downgrade from Ubuntu 10.04 to 8.04 without losing any data?

Thanks in advance!
