hi all,
how do i mount usb laptop hard drive to a centos 4 box? this hard drive has 2 partitions: NT (winxp os) and fat32 for data. i'm unable to boot from it and i think NT partition is corrupted. i did try to connect to windows box, but i still can't get to fat32. any idea how to do this on centos box? i gave up on windows box.
thanks, T. Hiep
and when i typed dmesg | tail and i got this:
Additional sense: Write error end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 39776936 Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 4972117 scsi0: ERROR on channel 0, id 0, lun 0, CDB: Read (10) 00 02 5e f2 a8 00 00 08 00 Info fld=0x0, Current sda: sense key Medium Error Additional sense: Write error end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 39776936 Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 4972117 FAT: invalid media value (0xb9) VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev sda.
anyone got any idea?

Sounds like the drive is past corrupt and actually dead. You might need to try some recovery software, or if the data is real important, send it out to a recovery service like Ontrack or Drivesavers. That option is very pricey, though. I just sent in a 160 GB USB drive that our engineer was storing stuff to, and it ran near $2000.00 USD. He has since been flogged for not using company standard data storage practices.
