I used to run a VortexBox (http://vortexbox.org/) on my machine at home. I decided to abandon the vortebox installation on the machine and I installed Ubuntu. I specified the partitions on the machine so I know I did not format the logical volume that contained all my media, programs, etc from the vortexbox install.

When I mount the logical volime on the ubuntu installation, the volume appears as if it was completely blank.

how can I recover the drive from Ubuntu?

Thanks.You need to find the type of the partition.
In Ubuntu you should have the gparted program.
Here is a DOCUMENTATION on gparted. USE it to identify the partition, do not try to change anything until you understand what you have.
gparted documentation

Please look over the document. Personally, I have no knowledge of VortexBox and can not guess how to mount a partition made with it.
You MIGHT be able to run VortexBox inside Ubuntu.
