** Description changed: I am using an amd athlon x86_64 machine with 64-bit Ubuntu (8.04 if I am not mistaken) and ext3 filesystem. - Currently my system wont start (except for windows: I have dual-boot and grub still works) for some reason.It hangs at the splash screeen.Booting using a live CD revealed my home folder was now this vague xml file and lost+found/ seemed to contain my data along with core libraries and kernel bits.Is there a way to recover files from lost+found/ other than manually renaming and moving them ? - Possible reasons/ Backtrace: + Currently my system won't start (except for windows: I have dual-boot and grub still works) for some reason.It hangs at the splash screeen.Booting using a live CD revealed my home folder was now this vague xml file and lost+found/ seemed to contain my data along with core libraries and kernel bits.Is there a way to recover files from lost+found/ other than manually renaming and moving them ? + Possible reasons / Backtrace: 1. Linux was abruptly shutdown several times due to power failure. On restart, it ran fsck and I blindly (yes, 'twas stupid to do that) gave yes to all options it passed.
