I think I did not make myself clear. I was using dual boot way before
removing windows.
It's just that I recently switched over to single boot : Only Linux.

Yes my initial and the recent filesystem crash was due to *power
failure*
Can I have more info 'bout journalling file system please

Actually I don't have separate partitions. I have this / and swap
partition only.
I do this since my hard disk is just 4 gigs. I've read that you have
to be real Linux guru
to recover the lost+found data. So I did not bother about it. Can
someone please give some
info about recovering the data from lost+found ?
P.S.
I was really frustrated with the whole incident.
I think that the subject line was little provocative and harsh.
Maybe it's just that rush of blood, that frustration which led to the
harsh statements made by me.
I apologize if I've hurt anyone's feelings. Honestly it was not my
intention.
I hope you understand.
Now I'm planning to install a rock solid Linux installation which won't
crash due to power failures.
Please guide me.
