Yes, it was a problem with the ATX power supply. I replaced it and now
is working fine.

I did what you told and I recover my important data but not all fs.

The matter is if you have a hardware fault the ext3 journal fs don't
preserve your data.

I'm not an expert about the journal ext3 fs but I though is designed
to preserve data so if the HD has a fault, ext3 must preserve your
data. If the fault is during updating the main fs it must go to the
previous main fs. This could happen when there is a power cut.

Regards
Oscar.
