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.

Hello Aaron, Thanks you for you help. The problem was i have two disk with two installations of fedora. If i put both disk in the same time i could only see the primary disk, the reason why is that both LVM are labelled with the same name. So i Had to change the second disk name with VolGroupXX. To do it i had to use a live cd with LVM support (i used unbuntu) since i cannot do it in rescue mode. I unplug my first disk and boot with the live cd after that i did this # vgscan # vgchange --available n # vgrename VolGroup00 VolGroup99 //i used 99 but you can use what you want And shutdown the computer When i reboot it did this #vgscan #vgchange --available y and i mounted the hardrive like this # mount /dev/VolGroup99/Vol2 /mnt/old_disk //Vol1 is boot and i don t need it And it works i have detailed the answer in case it can be useful for someone else.
