I have three different Dell desktops. They are running
FC5, FC6, and F7, respectively. I mention this because
the problem does not occur on FC6. I have Western Digital
USB drives with ext3 filesystems attached to each.
On the FC5 and F7 machines the boot process fails to mount
the USB drive. There is some complaint about an invalid ext3
filesystem. But, after the machines are fully booted, I can
mount the USB drives without any problem.
Is the mount being attempted before the drivers are in place?
Is there a way to resolve this problem?
Thank you!

Re: Copying the system from one HD to another ... I did something like this a long time ago (with an earlier distro, but there's no reason this won't work with FC6).... In grub, don't hit enter to boot, hit 'E' to edit the boot configuration, hit 'E' again to enter the kernel command line, and append "1" to the end of the command line. ... DON'T SCREW UP your device node, verify that you're _really_ wiping the partition table on your new hard drive, and not your existing one. ... After formatting the partitions on the new hard drive, mount them under something like /mnt/newdisk. ... (Fedora)
