After finishing Ubuntu update, I rebooted my pc. After logging in I noticed that my home folder is missing.

What should I do now?

The output of sudo fdisk -l and mount please. – Bobby Nov 23 '10 at 9:12
What type of "update" have you performed ? – João Pinto Nov 23 '10 at 9:48
the normal Update Manager – atsomeplace Nov 23 '10 at 10:41
What kind of partition process did you adopted? guided or manual? – crncosta Nov 23 '10 at 15:12

For future readers: it's very unlikely that an update removed the home directory, unless you're using unsafe repositories which you've added manually. The most likely issue here is a failing disk. – Lekensteyn Jun 29 '11 at 16:37

First thing to do is poweroff your computer. Then boot with Ubuntu Rescue Remix to recover your data on an external drive. This link might help:
