Well, I don't have acces to the system here, I am at work,
but I didn't see any files, just a few vacant directories
left such as:
/bin (maybe)
/dev
/etc
/home/fick (my home dir, empty!)
/mnt
/usr (was mounted externally)
I had assumed at first that it was something like what you
suggested and so I simply rebooted into the other partition
and was shocked to find that nothing came back!
