I have a corrupt guest install of ubuntu 12.04 running on virtualbox 4.2.6. I cannot boot to graphical mode . I get an error “failed to load session “Ubuntu”" How can I remove information from the virtual disk or repair it? Networking is also disabled

Try moving /etc/X11/xorg.conf to a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup.
I think the correct syntax would be :
sudo service lightdm stop , sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup , sudo service lightdm start , or sudo init 6 to restart the machine
The system will recreate xorg.conf by itself...
Of course, if you don't see the login screen, use alt+ctrl+f1 - f6
