Go to www.sammobile.com download a stock firmware, flash through Odin, reroot.
*or*
Find the right siyah kernel tar and flash through odin

I can't find 2.3.3 on sammobile only 2.3.6... does this matter? Or is there somewhere else I can find it?

Title adjusted
As was pointed out, it's always best to give a more descriptive title than 'Please Help'. I see you've got a few people helping you, good luck with it - it's usually a step you missed (I've done the same). Always read up and understand what you're doing before you do it, saves brain cells

u have very less or even outdated rooting option on GB, better to upgrade ur phone to stock ICS v4.0.3 (dwnld the stock ICS v4.0.3 firmware pertained to ur region on www.sammobile.com and flash the same using 'ODIN'.
After successfull flash and booting of ICS on ur phone, u can use Siyah kernel( .tar file for ODIN) to root ur phone by flashing the same vide ODIN

U might have corrupted ur install. If there is no VERY important data, i would recommend you to wipe data/cache and download a new STOCK rom and install using odin hope this helps. P.S. Only use odin and stock rom it has less chances of bricking the phone.

Then your not running stock. I've read a few of the threads you've started and come to the conclusion that either you really need to read more before doing anything to your phone, or your just trolling for posts.

You need to help yourself before anyone here will be willing to help you. You've been a member for 5 months, and you've made almost 80 posts, yet your questions consistently indicate that you do not read enough to understand your phone and how it works, yet you post that you do things with your phone that you don't understand and don't know how to correct.
Odin back to stock and leave it that way until you understand what you are doing.

Search is your friend. . Look for one click return to stock, should get ya going again. For future ref, read twice, flash once. If you're diligent and follow directions here to the T you should be good to go %99 of the time.

You need to provide us with more information and definitely post these kinds of things in the Q&A section. What ROM did you try to install, and what happened when it was done installing and you tried to boot. Where did this access to disk error occur? Are you rooted?
I will get a guide together on how to unbrick any galaxy tab pretty soon, for nobs.
I have bricked my tabs more than 10 times and unbrick them successfully.

If you were able to "unbrick" a "brick" it in fact never actually was a brick in the first place

You can found a firmware-collection here
Just choose a "2.2.1 Froyo" Version of your region...Good luck
But next time you should post in the general section.
Download your required firmware from sammobile.com.
Put your phone into download mode, open Odin, and flash the downloaded file.
If you still don't get it, please visit this great site- androidadvices.com and go to galaxy ace section.

Wrong section, so I'm closing this thread. About banning: you should remember that you have been noobs too. We shouldn't punish newcomers. They came here to find help, just like we one day. Help instead of punishment.
Imagine the situation that mods bans for every noob question - this forum would be empty. That's not our goal.

You will need to read and learn before you act. This phone is configured differently than what you are accustomed to, judging from your statement above. You won't install recovery separately on this phone, since it is built into the kernel, for instance. Most roms have flashing instructions in the OP.
Ok. Im rooted... I unlcoked it for Tmobile. and its now on 2.3.4. When i go to recovery it juts says android recovery. Im not sure if its Clockwork mod, because i havent used clockwork since the days of the Moto backflip. SO how would i go about getting Clockworkmod and then installing Slimbean.

The clear answer has already been given to you. Search for username creepyncrawly, read all the threads linked in his signature. You need to be patient, read and research for several days before attempting to flash anything. It was reckless and foolish to root before doing so.
