Came into my office this morning to discover data missing from my PC.

I am running Ubuntu 5.04

On Friday everything seemed to be intact and okay.  I have a dual drive system
and decided to put the newest version of Ubuntu (5.10) on the second drive - it seemed to install just fine
and I was also able to reboot into the older version.  I must admit that I did not run any programs
other than email and the browser before leaving my office for the weekend.

HOWEVER, this morning when I tried to fire up VMWare - my virtual machine files were GONE.  The directory
where the files should have been was there but the files were not.

Also missing:
   all the bookmarks in my browser (Firefox)
   all the pop3 mail on my system
   all of the contacts I had in Evolution
   all the "sent" mail
   all special email folders I had created that contained data.


All my other primary files appear to be intact.  Ideas? Have I been hacked?  Did the the install
screw something up?  If so, how?

(Fortunately I had a backup of the VM and the work data is stored on the server.  But I did not have a backup of
the email and contact info and that kinda torques me.)

Thanks


Dennis
