I had a problem with the ubuntu on my pc. it suddenly stopped booting by start up. I made a portable ubuntu and now I am operating from usb drive. my question is how can I have access to the data on my hard disk while operating from the ubuntu portable copy. thanks

You have to mount the partition that holds the data on your hard disk. For example if your data partition is /dev/sda2, then you have to run sudo mount /dev/sda2 /media/sda2 from the terminal. You can then cd to /media/sda2 and access your data. This is assuming you didn't use an LVM and encrypt your / or /home directories upon initial install.
