And don't forget to make sure that your HDs are slaved correctly :) On 2/1/06, Dave Coutu <cout@alum.wpi.edu> wrote:
Call me silly, but it would also probably help to mount the drive no matter how you get the drive on a diff/new system.
Figure out what device the drive is recognized as (i.e. /dev/hda, /devb/hdb, etc.) and do the following:
1) Create a temporary mount point under /mnt
mkdir /mnt/tmp
2) Mount the drive on that mount point.
mount /dev/hdX /mnt/tmp
where X is the drive letter assigned to the drive when the system boots. The system should be smart enough to auto-detect the filesytem type and not require you to pass options when you try and mount it.

I've got a bit of a problem... we have a linux server that contained 2 hard drives. The one with the boot information died - LUCKILY the data we NEED was on the hard drive that lived. My question is... how can I recover the data I need?
