Hard Drive Crash

Last week, my dual core Athlon 64 box crashed. I was converting a movie to mpeg2 to burn a DVD video on Windows when it happened. Then the weird things happened and eventually I had to repartition the hard drives. The only good side was that I managed to recover the partition table from the corrupted one. However, almost all data on / and /home went to the lost+found directory when I did xfs_repair. I recovered most of important data since I had one-week old backup of /home, but it was the worst nightmare. I don’t know what causes the problem.
