a weird problem mounting an ide drive
Hi everybody,
My system has got 2 hdd's, hda and hdd. I used to have fedora4 on an ext3 hda partition, both with windows installation. Later, when I tried to install fedora6 over it, it refused to recognize the existing linux partition, so I had to install fedora6 on hdd. I tried to mount my existing FAT windows (/dev/hda3) and linux ext3 partition (/dev/hda5), but that was of no use. Every time I got "not a valid block device" from mount.
I end up with removing extended partitions on hda, that did not help either.
Eventually, I've just installed Ubuntu on the problem drive, everything run smoothly. But these partitions are still not accessible from Fedora.
So, what do I have now:
Code:
[root@localhost ~]# /sbin/fdisk -l /dev/hda

When I tried to install Fedora6, the installer recognised /dev/hda as /dev/mapper_whatever. Does this put some light on?
Anyways, I'd really appreciate any ideas of how to mount my unused partitions, I'd like to use them. |
