    [SOLVED] Read from Linux Slave

    I have been running SUSE 10.3 - OK, on a 120GB Hard Disk,
    I had trouble with my Mobo & had to fit a new one.
    The Hard disk would now not be recognised, so I reinstalled 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

    Post the output of fdisk -l command here.
    Code:
    su -
    fdisk -l
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
