not /... but when... well, here is what is going on, I just installed
another hd, and got rid of the other one.
Maybe I got rid of the wrong hd. lol

You mean the global root-directory "/"? Ouch.
It depends on your filesystem. With ext2 you have good chances to be
able to restore files using e2undel. But with a journal file system
(ext3, xfs,...) it's very hard to restore files. :-/
Tip for the future: Use zsh. :) There you will be warned before
blowing all your data with an (probably) unwanted '*'. ;)
