Here's the thing, my friend had his Fedora box crap out on him so he put the hard drive into a USB enclosure and tried to mount it using another computer. This is all that comes up (his words):


"i mounted the drive but the only options i see when i LS it is:
config-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl
grub
initrd-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl
kernal.h
lost+found
System.map-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl
vmlinux-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl
vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl
"

He doesn't know which file system it is. Is there anybody out there who has dealt with this type of situation?

That looks like it is just the /boot partition.

The root partition is probably the next partition, and /home may be the third. It all depends on how he partitioned the drive in the first place.

Thanks. I guess I've used too many USB drives as FAT not to remember.
