It sounds like the root directory of your filesystem was lost. What happens then is that a new root and /lost+found directory will be created, and all inodes in the system which could be found will have been relinked into the new /lost+found. So you'll have lost the names of a lot of files, but their contents may still be intact. And as long as the subdirectories under / were not lost, they will also still be intact, so any files beneath them will still have the correct filenames, in subdirs of /lost+found. Basically you'll just have to go through the files and directories in /lost+found renaming them back to their correct filenames. That will involve manually examining their contents to work out where in the recreated root directory to rename them to.
