Hi,
Have a Laptop and it seems it dont want to play any more, screen black...hardware fail, not Archlinux.
My question is if I can remove the harddrive, use my external drive-bay attach the disk and mount it in another laptop and recover my documents and photos?
If I add the disk and do a tail -f /var/log/messages I can see that its give a name; [sdb]
If I try mount -t auto /dev/sdb /media/usb or -t ext4 I get:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
The drive is an old IDE...
Thx for any help!
