Are there any other partitions on sdb besides your /home?
Is the disk failing, perhaps?

fdisk -l /dev/sdb

Boot from a live-cd or boot disk with SATA support (I'm assuming these are sata disks) and see if the data is still present.

Check dmesg for mentions (on normal boot)
dmesg |grep sdb

--Shade

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
