OK, dumb mistake trying to mount 2 drives to the same point.
I had also tried making a mount point at /mnt/hdd1, but that tidn't
work either.

Yep. should read-

That could have been a typo too. As I can't boot that (my main)
machine, I'm using an old standby. I was typing on one desk while
reading the screen with my left ear. By the way, this /etc/fstab
addition attempting to mount hda1 was made to the fstab file in ram
from booting with the rescue disk, not the one that's resident
somewhere on the hard drives.

As the machine won't boot, I can't directly interogate the file,
however, I can get this much from booting from the CD, and going to
the manual partition window-
/dev/hda:
/hda1:
mount point: The box is empty, but offers these options- /boot, /,
/home, /temp, /usr, /vat, /usr/local/ /opt.
filesystem: ext3
file system lable: /boot
size: 101MB
/dev/hda2
mount point: not applicable
file system: physical volume (LVM)
size: 19438MB
/dev/hdb
/dev/hdb1
mount point: not applicable
filesystem: physical volume (LVM)
size: 76340MB
/dev/hdd
mount point: box is empty. Options offered are- ext2, ext3, physical
volume (LVM), software raid, swap, vfat.
filesystem: ext3
Normally there's at least a swap partition mentioned in this
partitioning window, but it's not there, as well as a few others, but
I can't remember just what they were now. Whatever they were was what
fedora does by default.
Thanks for your response. Is there hope? I know the above isn't what
you would have prefered, but is it of some use? I hope I've been a bit
clearer.
