The way that I see it, is that your reasons for switching to linux in the first place were wrong. If you were bored of windows, chances are
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.
As far as your initial filesystem crash, do you remember how it happened? Running a journalling file system would have helped you. I
Yes my initial and the recent filesystem crash was due to *power failure* Can I have more info 'bout journalling file system please
Actually, everything you think was lost would have been in the lost+found directories of the related partitions. You do have
separate
partitions for binaries and data don't you?
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.
