Hi there all
after a reinstall, i wanted to use my backup data wich i have on /dev/hdd1
When i try to mount it it get this error
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdd1,
or too many mounted file systems
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
i have tried with ext2 and ext3
when i run
sdisk -lg i get this error
/dev/hdd: 39870 cylinders, 16 heads, 63 sectors/track
Disk /dev/hdd: 39870 cylinders, 16 heads, 63 sectors/track
sfdisk: ERROR: sector 0 does not have an msdos signature
/dev/hdd: unrecognized partition
Any way to restore this partition?

Where was the "backup" hd before?
Was it in an another linux box?
Was it in a Windows Box (try mount -t vfat ...)
check out /var/log/dmsg and /var/log/messages
to verify what device name is being assigned
what do you get when you do a
fdisk /dev/(device name from log file)
