I have an IDE drive containing data imaged from a SCSI drive. The SCSI
drive has debian on it and is not available for me. I connected the IDE
drive onto my fedora core 3 box. Here's the result from "fdisk -l
/dev/hdb", it sees the fs as FAT32.
================================================== ====================
Disk /dev/hdb: 27.3 GB, 27373731840 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3328 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdb1 2 3327 26716095 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hdb5 2 3327 26716063+ b W95 FAT32
================================================== ====================

When I did "fdisk -l /dev/hdb5", I can see the linux partitions:
================================================== ====================
Disk /dev/hdb5: 27.3 GB, 27357249024 bytes
64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 26089 cylinders

/dev/hdb5p2 10 131 124928 83 Linux

/dev/hdb5p7 3492 8678 5311472 83 Linux
================================================== ====================

How can I read the data off of /dev/hdb5? I tried mounting /dev/hdb5
with different fstypes (msdos, vfat, ntfs, ext, ext2, ext3, ufs, xfs),
none would work. There is no such thing as /dev/hdb5p2. Is there anyway
I can somehow mount and read the content in hdb5?

Thanks a lot!

mount -o loop,offset=[bytes] /dev/hdb5 /mntpoint

I tried "mount -o loop,blocksize=620 -t ext3 /dev/hdb5 /mnt" and some
other fstypes, I got the following error message:
================================================== ============
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
or too many mounted file systems
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
================================================== ============

I know it's an IDE device, but how do I use sr0 or sda?

Thanks

What exactly is 'imaged'?

I think the person who transferred the data did "dd" or something
similar. He said he did bit to bit copy.
