I have a problem that is super-colossal.

Even though my system is a server, it serves as a Linux
server/workstation. The workstation's operating system is Win95.
Everything is on separate drives.

For some unknown reason, the computer itself has rebooted without
warning and as if nothing was happening to begin with. It has happened
twice today. I know that it is not related to an OS malfunction, but
it did corrupt my Linux hard drive the second time. The first time was
in Win95.

All the notes I need are on the Linux hard drive. I have boot images
for Red Hat 5.2, but I'm not sure they can recover me from this
tragedy. I did hear of a solution using the images that can recover
the hard drive with some manipulation, but those are also in my Linux
notes. I'm babbling (I suppose an OS crash can do that)!

What advice is there? Will I be able to recover completely? The OS
does allow me through some safety net to drop down into a shell for
root and I tried fsck.ext2 /dev/hdb2. At some point, the program
prompted me to salvage something it found... I didn't answer. Can it
reliably recover my hard drive or am I going about this improperly?
And, why did my computer reboot on its own so abruptly and without
warning?
