Need help recovering files from old hard drive with Fedora Core instal

[Irithori]

Try to mount the two LVs:

mkdir /mnt/LogVol00
mount /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /mnt/LogVol00
ls -la /mnt/LogVol00

mkdir /mnt/LogVol01
mount /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 /mnt/LogVol01
ls -la /mnt/LogVol01

If that doesnt work, the VG or LV probably need to be activated first.

What should the filesystem type be? On the first mount command, I receive the following error:

mount: you must specify the filesystem type

[Irithori]

Try to activate the VGs.

vgchange -a y
lvchange -a y /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
lvchange -a y /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01

and see, if the status has changed

lvscan
lvdisplay

Then try to mount them again.
If it still doesnt work, then the kernelmodule for the filesystem is not loaded.
Which one did you use at install time?

Thanks everyone for all the help... I was able to figure this out. Once I have pulled all my files off my HD, I will install with Mint Linux.

Cheers
