That is fine, Preston. Maybe someone else will help me.

I think we need more information as to what is on this partition. What is
the format of the data? Where did it come from? (such as Windows) and if
Windows, what filesystem and how was it formatted?

You tried to mount it as an ext3 disk... which implies that it came from a
linux environment. Is that the case?

Indeed, Bruce, it was formatted with Fedora. I have just used gparted
to check the filesystem of /dev/sdb2, but it says unknown.
