Which Ubuntu 8? (There's two releases with several configurations each.)
How did you install, attempt to reinstall, samba?
How did you install then uninstall winbind?
Have you tried booting to rescue mode?

The difficulty for non windows machines to authenticate to AD is a kind of vendor lockin - i.e. it's deliberate on MSs part.
