I've done more digging since and all of my directories where I had info
like music, photos etc are empty. The directories are there but no data.
It's very very wierd.

Dennis,
Are you sure you're not just using a different home directory? I know that sounds like a stupid thing but I've seen it before.

So anyone have answers besides "42"?
Thanks again

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
