Hi, If you are using a ext3 partition, I think you can forget about it. It happen to me with RedHat 7.2 and ext3. Anyway, if your data is in another partition, you can try any CDlive (like SuSE or knopix), to mount your data partition and get the information.
As a suggestion, keep your data in a diferent ext2 partition, no matters what the distribution you are working with.
