Which filesystem do you use?
ext2 has had some success in this area...
Be very careful not to do TOO much activity on that drive for a while, at least until you give up or succeed.
Cool

mount, df, cat /etc/fstab ...
All these commands should report your type of filesystem, simply type:
mount
And it should tell you
Cool

Thanks for your help. I was able to quickly recreate the files. Luckily I had the same distro loaded, and had not done much to the original stock configs, except for several VirtualHosts.
Thank you so much for your prompt reply! It's time for a beer.
