I can shed no light on why you are losing files, but I can suggest you 
check whether you are using the ext3 filesystem.  If you are still using 
ext2,  you might like to convert your partitions over to the ext3 
filesystem.  The additional journalling provided by ext3 has saved me a lot 
of angst by preventing me having to re-install lost files after power 
failures and other glitches.

Best regards,
Vaughan
