Access SUSE 10.3 Hard Drive as slave


I have been running SUSE 10.3 - no prob's OK, on a 120GB Hard Disk,
I had trouble with my Mobo & had to fit a new one.
The Hard disk was now not recognised, so I reinstalled 10.3 onto a new Hard Disk - OK.
I would like to be able to retrieve some files from my original Hard disk.

I have edited fstab

- /dev/sdb1 /mnt/slave ext2 defaults 0 0 - & made a folder in mnt - slave -

but I cant seem to access my original SUSE 10.3 Hard Disk as Slave, I get error messages when as root in a console, I enter - /dev/sdb1 /mnt/slave
Can anyone help please, thanks

If I understand you well you,re new MObo do not recognised you,re old HD
If this is correct suse would not recognize it to When you install suse on the new drive and the old one was also in you,re box and working and recognize by suse she gives all specification of the old drive in the boot loader.

So is the drive mentioned in the boot loader


all the best
