You can use the chroot command on your partition on which you had old OS. Once you're done with chroot, do anything you want like you are using your old OS again. you can see list of installed packages or you can see the content of /etc/init.d to see list of services.

To do chroot you can can see up to 6th step in http://alok.fossguru.in/content/rescuing-system-chroot

you can list all the service with sudo initctl list | sort. Give your password after typing the command.
