Ubuntu on Lenovo x61s - Help needed

[Peter]

I have used the bootabl4e CD.

The system disk shows as a100Gbyte encrypted disk. When I try to access 
it it asks me for the encryption password. It accepts the password but 
then says the disk does not have a recognisable file system. The display 
then says the disk is 98Gbyte. On selecting this I get a long error 
message starting:
error mounting /dev/dm-1 at /media/ubuntu/71fd...... exited with non 
error status32: mount: wrong fstype, bad otion, bad superblock on 
/dev/mapper/ubuntu-vg-root.
missing codepage or other helper program or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog-try dmesg  | t5aqil or so

How do I procede? Does this mean the dis has failed?

Regards

Peter Goggin
