The situation
i upgraded my laptop from Ubuntu 11.10 to Ubuntu 12.04. However, halfway through the process the system froze which made me do a force-shutdown.
My husband was luckier than me. He managed to upgrade his laptop although with much difficulty, probably because of NVIDIA. Seeing that Ubuntu 12.02 has problems with NVIDIA, he suggested me to downgrade from 12.04 to 11.10. Both our machines run NVIDIA by the way.
The problem
In order to downgrade i'm trying to make copies of my work first by rebooting using the Ubuntu 11.10 CD. The problem is i can't find my files in the Documents folder, Downloads folder, Music folder, Pictures folder, and Videos folder, also files on the Desktop. i've been searching in folders but couldn't find them. My husband says the files are there but doesn't know the location.
The question
So, what's the directory to those folders? Or are the files in those folders gone? ... which means 6 months worth of screenshots and downloaded files are gone for good :sad:
