Does the command "mount" with no parameters show the partition as
mounted?  If yes, then please DO NOT do any changes to it as you will
corrupt your data.

I suppose that the kernel has mounted your ext2 partition as FAT
partition.  (I don't know why the kernel does this.) In order to mount
the partition the right way you have to specify its file system:

mount -t ext2 /dev/... /mnt

If this doesn't work do also

modprobe ext2
