I have been running xubunu, which I installed using the wubi tool, alongside Windows 7.
I tried to upgrade to the latest LTS release of ubuntu, but unfortunately now ubuntu will not load. I am getting a memory error, which I suspect is because the newest version is trying to load up and use more memory. My netbook has a mere 1 GB of RAM.
To solve this, I think I will have to uninstall ubuntu through windows and then I can load it on again using a USB startup disk. However, first, I would like to get access to my data on the ubuntu partition so that I can recover files that were lost. This cannot be accessed through windows. I have tried running xubuntu in trial mode (from the USB stick). However, I don't think every partition is available. Here is what happens when I list the partitions:
xubuntu@xubuntu:~$ lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 298.1G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 100G 0 part /media/xubuntu/F430478C304754B0
├─sda2 8:2 0 15G 0 part
├─sda3 8:3 0 133.1G 0 part /media/xubuntu/60D85852D8582914
└─sda4 8:4 0 16M 0 part
sdb 8:16 1 7.6G 0 disk
└─sdb1 8:17 1 7.6G 0 part /cdrom
loop0 7:0 0 866.8M 1 loop /rofs
How can I mount everything, so that I can go in and have a look at my documents?
