hi everyone
Here's the situation
I have 2 hard drives install
first maxtor has windows on it 80G size (can be mounted from dsl/hda1)
second one a western digital has 2 partitions 50G(can be mounted too/hdb1) and the other one is 150G(can not be mounted from dsl/hdb5)
When i try to mount hdb5 from emelfm it says wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb5
currently i'm running running dsl off the cd
Is there any way i can get arround this?
Thank you

I'd like to use this topic to explain my problems.
I got two computers: P3 and P2. If I use P3 with live DSL CD, good, hda1 (Win98) is mounted and hda2 and hda3. If I use P2, nothing works. So I try TOMRSBT disk in P2. Good. It mounts hda1 (W98), hda2 (DSL) and can see hda3 (Swap) but as I said DSL no. If I use Mount Tool in P2 appears in it hda1, hda2 and hda3, but if I click the message is:

MOUNT: YOU MUST SPECIFY THE FILESYSTEM TYPE.

I'll be very happy if I could make P2 works.
