I am attempting to fix an OS drive that had some problems after installing updates. The hard drive is currently not bootable. My main goal right now is just to get some data off this drive.

I have a live CD which I am able to boot from when the hard drive is not attached. When I attach the hard drive however I get an error message **after** clicking "Try Ubunutu before installing".

The error message looks like this:

```
[    14.071718] ata2: COMRESET failed (errno=-16)
[    24.087575] ata2: COMRESET failed (errno=-16)

BusyBox v1.22.1 (Ubuntu 1:1.22.0-8ubunutu1) built-in shell (ash)

(initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system

```

Any thoughts on how I can get into this hard drive or what is keeping the Live CD from booting properly when the hard drive is connected?
