I've read in the past that the alternate ubuntu live cd has lvm support built in. Maybe check that out, also maybe something like knoppix could do the trick

Can it be done?

All the instructions I've found on the net require installation of lvm2 - not sure this is practical on Live CD, even if it was connected to the net, which it isn't.

The computer belongs to a club (I haven't had direct access to it yet) - the "administrator" has vanished and taken the password with him and the drive is now at least partly corrupted and won't boot without a root password.

fstab tells me it's  LVM.

OS is Fedora 7.x. Would a Fedora live CD mount it? DSL maybe? I don't have either but would get one if it worked.
