Fred,
Do a 'fdisk -l /dev/sda' or 'fdisk -l /dev/hda' - this should tell you
which way to fsck and mount it. Then, run a fsck on the root
partition (use -f to force it to check) and after it completes
succesfully, try mounting it and check the contents /etc/fstab.

Yes, try a newer Ubuntu live CD. I'm not sure they have "Repair my
mess" button, but it should find and mount your partitions.
