Missing necessary permission to access files- live USB

Asked by Jakob

The computer froze during updating to Ubuntu version 15.04. After turning it off the system doesnt work anymore. Live USB doesnt recognize the broken installed version of Ubuntu, therefore I dont know hot to repair it. However files are still there, but most of them arent accessible because of the fact that I am user 999 and computer want user 1000 to access given folders.

Please help me get my files back.

You can chown the files as needed.

Can you help with this problem?
