Getting Gentus Linux to recognize another HD.

I have just installed Gentus Linux (Abit's version) and I cannot get it to mount my other HD. I have tried mount -t vfat /dev/hdb1 /mnt/HD and it will not work for anything. Sometimes it says it cannot find the block device and others it gives me some other error which I cannot remember now. I have tried things like /dev/hdb and other ways to rearrange the parameters, but I cannot get it to work.

I have successfully mounted my other FAT32 partition that is on the same HD as Linux, but it will not work at all for the other. btw, the other HD has 2 logical partitions which are both FAT32.

Maybe if I have them both as primary? I would have done this, but I do not know how to make them primaries without losing the data.

Any ideas, you Linux gurus?

The command structure is correct but you're not giving it the correct partition number is all. I won't tell you what it is because you can figure it out for yourself. You do an fdisk /dev/hdb and see for yourself though. Then enter the correct partion number in the command and it should mount it just fine. 🙂
