It seems to me if the FC5 system is booted from another disk, you could mount a partition from disk /dev/hdb (let us say /dev/hdb1 (containing the FC4 partiton) by executing: mount -t ext3 -o default /dev/hdb1 /mnt/fc4 Then the files on that partition would be available to you. A line in /etc/fstab such as: /dev/hdb1 /mnt/fc4 ext3 defaults 0 0 would do the same thig.
