Many years ago I ran into a similar problem. A technician came in to the office to replace my hard disk with a larger one, and instead of copying my old data to the new one, he started copying the new disk to the old one, resulting in /home now being partially NTFS and partially ext2. ie, it was unreadable in linux and Windows. I documented the recovery process here: http://tech.bluesmoon.info/2004/11/home-is-ntfs.html http://tech.bluesmoon.info/2004/11/home-is-ntfs.html
Bonus: a year later, at a different company, I was faced with having to undelete source files on FreeBSD (UFS). I documented that as well here: http://tech.bluesmoon.info/2004/08/undelete-in-freebsd.html http://tech.bluesmoon.info/2004/08/undelete-in-freebsd.html
