This got me too. Some how the initial installation (9.10 I think?) went
OK, perhaps because it was using grub1 but an upgrade to grub 2 post
installation was not successful in finding my Windows partition (which
was working well with grub1), and now I am having trouble getting that
drive to mount for inspection purposes. So, I too am attempting to
access and locate my Windows partition. Are there any remedies? If so ls
post int he follow up. I must access that data. It is critical.

Laszlo: Thanks for recommending tool TestDesk. I will try it.

It would be helpful to know the locations on the file system where the
old grub data was saved. For example, seeing the previous grub.conf file
would be helpful in unraveling this problem. I am hopeful the installer
programs did not destroy that User data without saving it off somewhere.
