Hi every body .

im actually using debian(in sata) and i wanted to mount files from another hard disk which is an IDE .where in the IDE ,i have both windows and fc6 and i have mounted windows files,but when i have tired to mount linux it doesnt work ..Is that possible to mount linux files ?

When i give fdisk ..

i wanted to mount HDA7 and HDA8 to the sata....


thank you..

What does that mean mount to the sata? Why don't you tell us what you're actually doing (i.e., post the commands) and maybe we can help figure out what's going wrong.

hi thanks for the reply

see i have two comp ,1st comp is using the IDE hard drive and the 2nd comp is SATA . suddenly one day my 1st comp(IDE) got some hardware problems and i have taken out that IDE hard drive and used that as storage device .In 2nd comp i'm using debian in SATA hard drive in that same drive i have windows also .
in the IDE i have installed windows and linux(fc6) .. And i want those (IDE)files to mount in this SATA hard drive ..I have mounted windows files to the debian and im wondering is that possible to mount linux files to the debian .
sice the grub wont display the fc6, it will display only the windows and debian for the SATA..

i even tried connecting that IDE to this SATA and installed debian it detects the FC6 and old windows ,but its not booting into that since i have used that in another PC ..


So my problem is i cant access the FC6 files thru debian..

IF im not clear ..kindly excuse me..

So there's an old hard drive plugged in via IDE showing as /dev/hdb and you want some files off /dev/hdb8.
If I understood that correctly what happens when you run these commands:

hda8 can not be mounted as such since it is an LVM partition. In a nutshell look at the output of the vgdisplay command. The default fedora / partition will be VolGroup00, LogVol00.

mount -t ext3 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /mount/point (As already suggested use mkdir to create a directory)

hda7 is your /boot partition and only contains the kernel. I would assume that all the information you want will be on the fedora / volune. However, it can be mounted like

mount -t ext3 /dev/hda7 /mount/point.

Thanks michaelk now i can access my files buddy .. and more more thing .i want access this files as normal user and not as root ... i just want to clarify that is this correct r not .

i have changed the sudoers file as shown below ... i want to know that whether its correct r not ..My user name is maximas
