This is not good, your live system doesn't detect your harddisk. How old is this live system? > I found the mountpoint of /dev/loop0 using mount, but it appears to be > completely empty.

In theory it's possible to have no partition at all, so you would mount /dev/sda, but then /dev/sda1 wouldn't exist.
