    Quite often live cds automatically mount your hard drives for you. Try typing "mount" at the command line to see if it's already mounted.

    Also, it's important that you know that ubuntu doesn't have a root account by default. Instead use "sudo" to get root permissions. For example
    Code:
    sudo mount
    OK??

    Also in your term you can do
    Code:
    sudo passwd root
    then log in as root after you make the password, which may be more convenient than typing "sudo" all the time.
