Ubuntu 8.04.2, just installed, doesn't allow access to my hardDisk.

Without knowing what exactly you did while making the additional install
it's hard to tell. My guess would be that it's quite likely that you're
able to boot your old installation through the GRUB menu on bootup.

Although it's too late now, I'd like to ask: why did you do an
additional install when all you wanted is 8.04.2? The regular updates of
8.04 should already have given you that.
