Sudhir,

The main question to ask you is "did you format your drive during the 
re-installation of ubuntu 10.04"? If you did format your hard drive, then you 
may need to look for a recovery software to get back your data, if the data is 
important to you, otherwise, the data is gone forever.

Subject: Re: [Schooltoolers] reinstall and loss of data

Don't we also automatically make a backup on an upgrade?
