Hi all,
I tried installing Ubuntu 12.04 on a HP Mini netbook.
During the installation process I was asked to choose the partition on which Ubuntu would have lived on. I chose the Windows (7) partition and resized it. After the resize there was (still is) an unsable space. I stopped the procedure there and I tried to boot normally through Windows to back-up before proceeding. Unfortunately I wasn't even able to boot into Windows. Using the USB stick with the Ubuntu live version I tried mounting the partition to back-up the files through terminal.
I am not able to mount the partition yet. The process and messages straight from my terminal are listed below.
I am asking for the king assistance of anyone that could help me.
Code:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk /dev/sda

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda2 /media/SDA2
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2,

In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
Thank you in advacne for your time and kind help.
