I can mount the NTFS drive and I can mount sdb2 if I don't specify the filesystem type. That's where Grub is in a folder with the 2 kernel config, initrd, systme.map and vmlinuz files. I haven't figured out how to mount the sdb1 partition and the sdb3 LVM partition claims to be mounted already although I don't know where to look for it. Maybe it will mount if I try a link. [root@localhost ~]# mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /media/d2p1 mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so [root@localhost ~]# dmesg | tail SELinux: initialized (dev fd0, type vfat), uses genfs_contexts floppy0: data CRC error: track 1, head 0, sector 1, size 2 floppy0: data CRC error: track 1, head 0, sector 1, size 2 end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 36 floppy0: data CRC error: track 1, head 0, sector 1, size 2 floppy0: data CRC error: track 1, head 0, sector 1, size 2 end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 36 fuse init (API version 7.8) SELinux: initialized (dev sda1, type fuseblk), uses genfs_contexts VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev sdb1.

Failed to startup volume: Invalid argument Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Invalid argument The device '/dev/sdb1' doesn't have a valid NTFS. Maybe you selected the wrong device? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/hda, not /dev/hda1)? Or the other way around? Here's grub # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition.

I could just reinstall from the Negus Fedora 7 dvd although would I not find myself in the same place again after an update? What could be the source of the problem? I used the disk check option when I partitioned. Doug
