Not to be a complete goob, but I would use Knoppix instead of the Ubuntu 
Live CD.  Knoppix will automatically mount a detected hard drive, 
assuming there is enough partition information with which to mount it 
successfully.  Although, almost ANY Live CD will work fine, I keep a 
Knoppix mini-disc handy for when my bootable flash drive won't work 
because of BIOS issues.

Just my $0.02.
