Please help, can't access sdb1

[RJ Hythloday]

Need help! posted over at ubforums but never got an answer.

My system crashed, I was using an edubuntu on hdd 2 and it crashed, I'm back on hdd1 w/ kubuntu and need to get 1 file off of the edubuntu hdd.

I'll install something on the edu hdd if needed to access something out of the home partition. I hope it made on by default, this is all still very new to me.

To be completely honest I'm afraid to hook up my .flac hdds. I need to move data from a 200 and 400 to a 750 so they can be reformatted ext3 but I'm scared!

Right now can someone just help me get the one file off of sdb1?

I get this message

Yeah, that's a well-documented issue:

I would guess that manually mounting your /dev/sdb1 partition in a Konsole window would work. It appears to be an ext3-formatted partition, right? So, in the Konsole:

sudo mkdir /media/sdb1

sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1

And then use D3lphin or Konqueror or Krusader or whatever to copy your file to wherever you want it.
