As I already have pointed out, you don't mount the /dev/hdb2
mount /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /mnt/old_system
See to create the /mnt/old_system or mount it to some other location.

...sigh. Aho, I cannot mount /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 because it does not
exist, or at least it does exist, for the current setup of FC5. There are
no other /dev entries for volume groups, other than /dev/VolGroup00.
Maybe
if one of them had a different name, like /dev/VolGroup20 or something,
but
they both have the same name. I think that I have to rename one of the
volume groups somehow in order to be able to get them both mounted, does
that make sense?
The old FC3 volume group is priceless and cannot be destroyed, that is
where all my data is. The new FC5 volume group I don't care about as it
was
just installed and nothing of relevance has been done with it. If I have
to
format and reinstall FC5, it is no big deal, but I cannot lose the old
FC3
data. Oh there was a web page somewhere where they were talking about
this,
let me see if I can find it for you.
Yeah here it is...

Look all the way at the bottom. The dude is saying that because both of
the logical volume groups have the same name, it would be impossible to
mount them both. When I try his suggestion:
vgscan
vgchange --available y
It does not help, it only shows the current LVM groups as they are.
I am at a loss as to what to do. I really wish that I did not install
Fedora as an LVM now because of all this trouble.
Somebody please help.
