Sorry for creating any confusion.
The drive has data on it that I want to move over to the FC3 system already installed. The data is in a Windows filesystem structure and I don't want to have to put it into another system, boot it, hook it up to the LAN, etc. I just want to get the existing FC3 system to recognize it so that I can pull the large files off that I need. Once that is accomplished, repartitioning it using and ext2 or ext3 filesystem would be perfectly fine.
Imagine the situation as this : you've got a perfectly well-
running FC3 installation. Now you need more diskspace. Someone
hands you a harddisk that had Win98 and it's filestructure
on
it. The disk was formatted (apparently) using EZ-Drive. You
are welcome to reformat the disk, but only after copying a
number of files over to the FC3 installation.
That's as clear as I can make the situation.
TIA, Matt
According to installations instructions I found for EZ-Drive, you cannot use a EZ-Drive formatted disk with anything but Windows. From the partition table you showed earlier that would seem to be the case. /dev/hdd1 shows as FAT32 and may be ok, but the rest of the partition table doesn't make a lot of sense.
What do you get if you run 'fdisk -l /dev/hdd' from a command line?
