1) Can I safely delete the files in lost+found.
Yes. You can look carefully at their contents to try determining what they were.
2) Is it possible for bad memory to cause problem with the file system on a hard drive (ext2)?
Yes. High humidity caused one of my memory modules to temporarily fail and caused corruption on my filesystem.
3) Should I still be concerned with a possible HD failure. The drive is an 80Gb Western Digital, about 8 months old.
Well, now that you are worried, it is important to know if it has problems. If you have smart enabled, use: smartctl --all /dev/hda to get an idea. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
