Can't access hard disk from ubuntu live cd. Cant mount, need the data.
I tried to install ubuntu and then windows but somehow it all went wrong and now i'm stuck with a hard disk full of data, but no access. it won't boot. i have a ubuntu cd, i'm trying to access the disk by booting from it but it won't let me mount the hard disk.
it says: "can't find /dev/sda2 in /etc/fstab"
i tried to edit fstab file but since its a live cd, i cant..
i entered fdisk -l and it gave this:
omitting empty partition (5)
