Try the lost+found directory on the partition that had the problem.  You
may also want to check /var/log as the errors are also probably listed
in /var/log/messages.  The lost+found directory is for orphan disk blocks, 
similar in purpose to the filexxxx.chk lost cluster files generated by
chkdsk in the Dunce Operating System.
