From windows or ubuntu, have you tried showing hidden files? From either is
there unaccounted for space 'missing' on the drive...as in the linux files
aren't showing up but they seem to be taking up space?
Mike - I had the same idea but there doesn't seem to be any missing
space. Thanks. Kelly

Greetings. I have just managed to lose all my data.
In preparation for upgrading my Linux installation, I bought and installed
a WD USB 500 GB external drive. I copied all my data from my SuSE 9.2
partition to the external drive. I rebooted to my WinXP HE partition and
saved my data to the same external drive. I then deleted the old SuSE
partition and installed Ubuntu 8.041 LTS where SuSE had been. I rebooted
into Ubuntu and looked for my folders on the external drive. They are not
there or, if they are there, I can't see them. Only the Windows folders
remain.
I assume that, when I saved the Windows folders to the external drive, they
wrote over the files that were already there, i.e. the folders from my
previous SuSE Linux installation that I had saved there. It was not a case
of space - I had saved about 75 GB of files from my SuSE partition and only
about 10 GB of files from Windows (that I rarely use).
Is there any way that I can retrieve my files?
TIA. Kelly
