NO I did not mount the partition.
How the name for the SLAVE device is assigned? In your example, you have used 'sdb1'. My understanding is that the SLAVE drive should be listed in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab. Neither of these files exist.
I am a newbie, so any help is appreciated.

Hello:
NEED HELP Desperately!!!
Today one of my servers (RH 7.2) went down. I moved the HDD
to another
server and it booted fine except I could not setup the proper VIDEO display.
Then I setup a new Server (CentOS 4.3). I moved the HDD from the original server and installed it as a SLAVE device in the
new server.
Now I want to display the contacts of the slave HDD (so I
can copy few
files). How do I display the second (slave) HDD?
Thanks in advance.
Kirti
Did you try mounting the slave drive/partition?
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/floppy or similar

Is this a SCSI device or IDE? If IDE, did you connect it to the primary or secondary controller? If SCSI, what is the SCSI ID of the drive? dmesg should tell you which drive devices were detected during the boot process? fdisk /dev/<device> should allow you to view what partitions are available on the drive.
