I have a bit of a problem. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on my laptop, and about 2 years ago I replaced the aging HDD with a 32 GB SSD. Today I tried to boot my computer, but it couldn't.
So I've put the SSD into an external HDD rack and booted a live CD Ubuntu 10.10 to try to recover data from the SSD. The SSD appears in the drop down menu but it won't mount.
Log:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ dmesg | tail

Is there a way to fix this so I can recover my data?
