fedora 5, hardrive error/ bad block ? help please :)
 

my fedora froze, the hardrive failed, after i tryed to reboot on reboot i got this message:

i then tryed using the rescue cd
when detecting fedora, it told me no linux partitions found

then i install the hardrive as jumper as slave
on a spare hardrive with fc5 on it, i then did
/sbin/fdisk -l
it showed the hardrive thier, but couldnt figure out how to mount it? it told me needed file extention

their is a few files / notes i would like to get off the hardrive if at all possible?
any help or ideas would be greatly helpfull.
thank you

You might need to explain this point a little further! Did you try the 'mount' command? 'man mount' will tell you a bit about how to use it. If you tried it and it didn't work, what was the exact error message you got?

mounting help
 

ok here is my drives info:

/sbin/fdisk -l

the drive i would like to mount is /dev/hdb2
i try to mount it this is what it says:

mount /dev/hdb2 /mnt/60gig
mount: you must specify the filesystem type

thanks

Try
As it says, it needs to know the filesystem type. I'm guessing it's ext3, because that's the default for Fedora 5.
