RE: Problem with mounting hard disk after FC5 installation

I ran partprobe on /dev/hde and that changed the error message to the
following: mount: /dev/hde1 already mounted or /mnt/sata_files busy

Unfortunately, it stil won't mount, unmount, or anything else.

Per your suggestion, I ran the dd command it it ran fine. No errors - all
data copied.

I've run into the same problem where I have an old hard drive with an

Fedora.

I recently installed FC5 on my main machine. This machine used to run
FC4, but this was not an install. I dropped two new 160GB SATA drives
into the machine and performed a clean install. Prior to the install I
backed all of my important data files up to an old 40GB IDE drive. I am
using both software RAID and LVM on the new install, but everything went
smoothly with that. The only issue is that the EXT3 partition on the old
40GB drive cannot be mounted. It produces and error as follows:



This IDE drive is connected to an HPT302 IDE controller card, but the
last
time I had problems with a card of this type was several years ago.

I've been down the SE Linux road, and that doesn't seem to be the issue.

Any other ideas?

Hmm, when I try to screw around with non-existent or non-block devices I
get different error messages, so mount has a specific complaint about your
/dev/hde1. What happens if you try to dd from it?

dd if=/dev/hde1 of=/dev/null count=100000
