Ubuntu

Desktop Corruption?

Asked by Samuel Tarling

I was just saving a text document to the desktop when my system crashed (probably because I'm using 8.04 on this netbook).
When I rebooted, all of the files which were on the desktop had gone, and I think it's probably because I've corrupted something somewhere :/
Anyone have any ideas of how to get the files back?

After crash or hd defect fsck puts files (inodes) which can't be assigned into lost+found folder.
