After further test with Gparted and Smartctl I found out I no longer have
the / and /home partitions on the drive.
And smartctl shows that hard drive has failures and old-age problems.
I just installed Fedora 17 on the hard drive three days ago.

Hi Jim,
Being an end user myself, when I first got into Fedora I was losing data
constantly from upgrades, as I assume is common for every new user. It was
very tough to realise that I just wiped out all of the data. A positive
that I took from the experience is that it taught me to always backup; now
that we are upgrading every 6 months I just save everything on an external
drive - nothing on the hard drive except the essentials that need to be on
the computer.
Hope this helps; I really wish there was something that could be done.
Regards,
Richard
