So your hard disk's sda2 and sda3 partitions are already mounted. What's the problem?

The problem is likely that your USB-drive is now detected as the /dev/sda device, as it is the first device found during the boot-up.
Try running sudo lshw -c disk in a terminal. There you will find that your harddisk is probably /dev/sdb at this point. Then run sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb and see if you recognize the partition sizes and layout. If that is the disk, then you should be able to mount it the way you already did, but change the sda to sdb in this case.

If you use both windows 8 and Ubuntu and you cant access win8 partitions from Ubuntu, just boot into win8, open Command prompt and type this:
powercfg -h off
And the problem will be solved.
