Sorry! What I told you above is wrong. I had the 7.04 disk in my drive.
It is NOT possible to boot into safe graphics mode off the Xubuntu 7.10 beta live CD. I too tried "Ctrl+Alt+F1" when the drive had stopped working, but nothing happened. I don't have the Ubuntu CD available right now to test things with it, but I wanted to correct my mistake as soon as possible.
