First, I said "user" because in an earlier message you said you have
something mounted as /user/something_or_other . /usr is different from
/user; /user is what some installations use instead of /home .
You don't tell me the full output of "df". This is what will tell you what
you have mounted, and where. Now we know (from fdisk) that you actually have
two Linux (ext2) partitions:
/dev/hda1
/dev/hdb1
So ... run "df" without any arguments, and it will show you some partition
mounted as root (that is, as /). If it doesn't show the other partition
mounted anywhere, it may have your old files on it. TO see, mount it
temporarily with a command like
mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt
then cd to it and see what is there.
