I have two hard drives. One is SCSI as sda1, the other is an IDE as hdc1. I installed the main distro on sda1 and /home on hdc1. ( Sda1 is only 9 gigs and hdc1 is only 6 gigs). However, I can't mount /home because hdc doesn't exist. Fstab does list it but /dev doesn't have a block device file for it or hdc1. If I go into a partitioning program it no longer lists it as an option. -I installed Elive 0.4.2 and the live aspect of the disk had no problem finding it. Is there anyway to fix this without a fresh install or losing the second drive?

I tried searching elive's forums and did go on x-chat, but no one answered...

Thanks

From a live CD issue "fdisk -l" (ell, as in list), and post the output here.
While you're at it, let's see your /etc/fstab.

Here is my Fstab, fdisk -l only displays sda1. I couldn't post it my terminal doesn't support ctl^c or right-click. Sorry about that....

That says to me you only have one drive - I'd be checking the seating of the power and interface cables. Yes, they do fall out - had it happen recently; thought I'd lost a hard drive in an electrical storm.

Try Knoppix and do that display again - has very good hardware detection.
