yeah , ubuntu live cd dont mount hdd partitions automatically, but hdd partitions will be mounted automatically once u install it on ur hdd. u may also mount partitions using live cd , manually.

As Much as I know

sudo mount -t <filesystem> /dev/<yourhard drive partion name> /<directory where you mount>

Example:-

sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda3 /testmount

vfat = filesystem
sda3 = hdd's partition
testmount = directory

Change the name with your own PC's config.
