System Recovery

I'm finally getting brave enough to try to recover data from my bombed
80GB disk.  What is the procedure for mounting this?

It was LVM'd when it croaked, if it matters.

What I would like to do is to mount the disk and remove some of the
data.  Right now there is no entry in fstab for it.

A simple mount command does not seem to work.  mount /dev/sdb2 just
gives me the help screen.

fdisk -l /dev/sdb reveals

Disk /dev/sdb: 80.0 GB, 80000000000 bytes
225 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9726 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device	Boot		Start		End		Blocks	ID
System
/dev/sdb1	*		1		13		104391
83	Linux
/dev/sdb2			14		9726
78019672+	8e	Linux LVM

Thanks!
