My partitions disappeared after Lubuntu Live CD now there sda5 which will not mount. It was Lubuntu 14.

I looked around to see if an install is too difficult. I liked Linux puppy because was not so dangerous or difficult.

But I went back after seeing it's not for normal people.

But it didn't go back. It stayed changed from my (sda1 sda2 sda3) to sda5. I never choose or made sda5 (see picture). When I saw it looks dangerous I went back but sda5 stayed and my old partitions sda1 to sda3 didn't show up again.

In sda3 which is Packard Bell laptops windows original partit had my pics and my puppy Linux sfs collections. There was no writing action so nothing can be really deleted.

How to get all back? if I put puppy Linux CD in and start with puppy it is nothing there even parit5 is not to mount is the message.

Does sudo testdisk not work because I'm on a live CD?

I probably need a boot tool like puppy. What should I download? I have a second laptop so I can burn DVD. What should I do to get stuff back? The pics belong to somebody else and laptop actually too.

    Could you please [edit] your post when you want to clarify something or add information? It’s best to have everything relevant in one place. Additionally, comments may be deleted for various reasons. Thanks. – David Foerster Apr 09 '18 at 19:13
  • Could you please boot a live DVD/USB with Ubuntu (or Lubuntu or any other official Ubuntu flavour), choose the option "Try *buntu", open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T), run the command sudo parted -l; sudo lsblk -f and [edit] your question to copy and paste command output into it? Thanks. – David Foerster Apr 09 '18 at 19:15
  • Note that LVM is an advanced logical volume configuration that as default uses the entire hard drive erasing all other partitions. It typically has a /boot partition and entire rest of drive is one standard partition holding all the logical volumes.https://askubuntu.com/questions/3596/what-is-lvm-and-what-is-it-used-for If not too much damage done, testdisk may find old partitions. https://askubuntu.com/questions/286181/how-do-i-recover-my-accidentally-lost-windows-partitions-after-installing-ubuntu – oldfred Apr 09 '18 at 19:41
