The password for Fedora will never work on another distro unless you set it.

The root password is root and the default user is demo I think. Try something like mepis, demo, <username>

Well maybe you do lol
Do you run windoze?
It might be not 2 hard drives but 2 partitions.
Post the "names" of the hard drives.
Ang good luck with Mepis
