again hello all a little probing around this morning as to why I am having trouble mounting this drive so as I can retrieve data. Thanks to all who have already posted with pointers!
dmesg | less tells me that the drive is definately hdb: ST320420A ATA Disk Drive (20gb & not 30gb I previously stated) This drive was my RH 8.0 system kernel version 2.4.18 ext3 filesystem The SuSe 7.0 partition I am attempting to mount from is kernel version 2.2.16 ext2 filesystem Interestingly when I cat filesystems under SuSe 7.0 it tells me vfat hfs minix reiserfs where is ext2? Starting to wonder if the problem is between the fact I am trying to mount an ext3 fs with a ext2 fs ? Any pointers again on how I can get around this problem and mount the dam thing is greatly appreciated... Lastly the thought to create a new RH 9.0 installed partition on hdb then attempt to mount the relevant directory of the old RH8.0 partition. Hoping to avoid this long way around!!
