The partition table cannot be read, so you cannot mount it......

Yes, visit; http://www.fedoralegacy.org/ and at least bring your system
current. FYI: RHL9 is old and no longer supported by Red Hat, support ended
over a year and a half ago, consider replacing the OS to something that is
supported. Something like Fedora Core 4 or CentOS-4.2 keeping in the Red
Hat family.
