Hi, I think if you can do some test to verify that where is fails will help us to understand the problem.
Before you mount the file system, can you verify the block device is usable? You can do that by "dd if=/dev/sda of=/tmp/drivedump count=1024" See you can read the content from the raw device or not. If that success. Try "cat /proc/partitions". See kernel can find the partition or not. Then "dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/tmp/driver1 " to verify the partition you want to mount is readable. Is that any chance the linux kernel thing the CHS is different from the one in windows so linux can't mount it right? Just a guess.
