mount hdd but not filesys found?
 

hey all, how is it going? I am trying to mount a hdd that has a windows partiion on it. I am using redhat 9, in gnome. The problem that I am running in to is, when i try to mount my hdd partition that is call hdb2, when i use hardware browser, I can see the hdd and the partition that is named hdb2 but it says taht there is no filesys on the partition. I have tried to mkdir /Quantum, that worked, then I tried to mount -t vfat /dev/hdb2 /Quantum. I recieved this message mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb2, or too many mounted file systems. I am not sure what I am to do next...
thanks all jason..

Are you sure you're not using NTFS? Type fdisk -l /dev/hdb (as root) to get a list of partitions and their filesystem types to make sure you're using the correct -t option.

yes I am sure that I am not using ntfs, I have tiried to use the fdisk -l /dev/hdb (I was logged in as root) command but I recieved a bash: fdisk: command not found message.

thanks Jason

You may have to type the full path to the command: /sbin/fdisk -l /dev/hdb.
