I just updated from 13.10 to 14.04 by way of a fresh install. I had separate partitions for the / and /home folders and only formatted the root partition, so I assumed that the contents of the /home folder would be saved. However, when I booted up under the new installation all my /home files were gone. I had most of my important files backed up but some of the back-ups are out of date. I'm wondering what would be the best way to recover as much of my /home files as possible? I'm running a dual boot of Ubuntu and Windows, so I could try the recovery under either OS.
EDIT: One thing I just realized is that I changed the username on the new installation, if that matters.
