Files Dissapeared

[Zatarg]

I dual boot ubuntu hardy with vista,
I needed to reinstall vista so I copied the files I needed to keep to the ubuntu partition.

I reinstalled vista, (bout 4 days ago) and have been using the files on ubuntu, however I tried to move them back to Vista, and of the 5gb of files, only 78mb went over, and the rest have disappeared.

I was using cut and paste, and i cant see them as hidden folders, or nor does the search function find them.

Is there any way i can get these files back?

Cheers

Did something happen to interrupt the moving process?

In any case, either check the trash, or the /lost+found directory.

No, it complete successfully, or i am assuming so as the progress bar reached the end and the moving files window disappeared.

Nothing in trash nor lost+found.

EDIT: Acessing lost+found told me i didnt have the permission so i sudo nautilus-ed to get in, however I just noticed i get this error in the console:

steven@steven-laptop:~$ sudo nautilus
seahorse nautilus module initialized

Please ask your system administrator to enable user sharing.

Is this maybe why i can't see anything in lost+found? And if so how would i enable user sharing?

Thanks again.
