I have tried to use fedora and Gparted with no luck.
There are some important data files I must save off of sda2
1. What is the type of that file system?
ext4
2. Can you paste error messages related to this partition?
No , Gparted can not mount it either
3. What happens after system reboot? Does it mount or not?
No , only / is mounted

So when the system reboots you see a /dev/sda2 device, correct?
When you type "mount /dev/sda2 /somewhere" (where "somewhere" is some
existing, handy mount point) you get an error message saying that the
file system isn't recognized or can't be determined?
If you type "mount -t ext4 /dev/sda2 /somewhere" you get an error
message, e.g., "not an ext4 filesystem?"
What I would try next is running "e2fsck -n /dev/sda2" and see what that
says. The "-n" to insure nothing is written to the disk (just in case).
Try it and post the results to the list here. The partition superblock
may be corrupted and I have no idea what e2fsck will try to do if that's
the case. It may just give up without looking at the backup superblock.
# e2fsck -n /dev/sda2
e2fsck 1.42 (29-Nov-2011)
e2fsck: Superblock invalid, trying backup blocks...
Superblock has an invalid journal (inode 8).
Clear? no
e2fsck: Illegal inode number while checking ext3 journal for /home
/home: ********** WARNING: Filesystem still has errors **********
