good thinking, the command line program 'df' probably would have been
a lot less hassle, but this works.

No, they aren't the same disk. If you were to send over the output of
'df' and of 'sudo fdisk -l' it would be a little easier to see your
partitioning scheme and advise, but from what you did provide, it looks
as if you have quite a lot of extra space in /boot. /boot generally
holds files to be used at the very beginning of the computer's boot
process; the grub menu, the linux kernels, possibly some graphics...
If this is the common way of doing it, you'll find that the 'mount'
command will show that boot and root are in fact entirely different
partitions, and that you should probably shrink /boot down
significantly and put that space in / (root).
Exactly how you managed to fill almost 9G of data in /boot is actually
beyond me, but I would have expected it to be much closer to a few
tenths of a gigabyte .. but I'm not on ubuntu right now, so perhaps
other list viewers can back me up on this.

All,
It seems like I am running out of disk space on my home partition. I installed through Wubi in Windows, and thought that 10GB would be enough. I've attached a link to a screenshot hoping it would aid the situation: http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/646/screenshotsystemmonitorxz0.png
I tried expanding the /host/ubuntu/disks/boot device using gparted, but that did nothing to improve /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk. Where should I be doing that? Aren't they the same device?

Running out of disk space!
As requested:
Result of fdisk -l:
Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x4e74c1d1
This tells me you have no space in /, which is bad because you're
likely to need space there, for temporary files, for space in ~/ (your
home directory) or in /var/log for system logs.
However you also have a ton of space on sda,sdb,sdc,sdd (especially!)
and sdf.
You have a few options.
1) take that space out of the boot partition and put it back
into / (root).
2) shrink one of your emptier windows partitions and use them
to store part of / (like /usr, which takes up lots of
space, or /home).
3) remove something. I don't recommend this unless you have a
lot of cruft you mean to remove.
I recommend the first option, because you're more likely to feel
comfortable doing that.
