Thank you TobiSGD, for your very helpful suggestion.

I am aware, of what liveCDs are, how to burn them and also how to use them. However in this case there was no such link that you talk about.

By googling the ISO instead of going to the link (which has no iso image) I finally managed to find one, burn it to a CD and boot it up. I am reading the instructions but it seems to be very long winded and doesn't tell me how to look at my data.

There is.

Anyways, I don't have used LVM myself, so I can't help with it. May it be possible that the SystemRescueCD is capable of just mounting the partition?

I am searching for the other files in the system which should be there. I have to first find the partition that I wish to mount. I can't see them, that was the whole point.

I ran through with TestDisk 6.11.3, Data Recovery UtilityTestDisk 6.11.3 and it said the structure was bad...

Problems with logical volume:
Error starting job: Failed to execute child process "lvchange" (No such file or directory)
That is what happened when I tried to activate the volume.
