What command did you try? What was the error message? Show us the partition table from a gpt (the uefi partition table format) aware tool.
You really need to start dealing in specifics if you would like to resolve the issue in a timely fashion. Otherwise, you're just wasting everyone's time (yours included).
Finally, make sure that the live cd's kernel (whatever it is) is compiled with efi support. Otherwise, the mount(2) system call won't be able to find the partition.
