Good day...

I have a not-so-old 40gb harddisk where I install Mandriva 2006. I have downloaded some ISOs om the said drive. Now some messages appear asking for Y/N and the user just press Y.... On the next boot it failed, and when I attach it to other computer(to copy the ISOs), I encountered errors on mounting the drive...

mount: error while guessing filesystem type
mount: you must specify the filesystem type

                   - & -

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb1,
       or too many mounted file systems

Can I still recover files on the said drive? How? Please help...

i suppose the old drive was installed as /dev/hda1 and you're trying to boot it as /dev/hdb2, check your master/slave setup, try to boot the drive as hdax and see what happens, post back the results.
