It is indeed FAT32 (My Win2k partition sees the part fine). I am running
Redhat 9.0 with the OS on various partions on /dev/hda. here is what I
get when I try to probe the drive:
[root at hannah proc]# fdisk /dev/hdc
Unable to open /dev/hdc
[root at hannah proc]# mount /dev/hdc /mnt/backup
mount: /dev/hdc: can't read superblock
[root at hannah proc]# fdisk -l /dev/hdc
[root at hannah proc]#
Here is what's in /proc/ide:
[root at hannah /]# cd proc/ide/
[root at hannah ide]# ls -lah
