Problems mounting second hardisk, partition

[Wendell Buckner]

I've had this problem since I started fooling around with linux about four months ago and never fixed.  Since then I've added gnu c/c++, fvwm and network card (thanks to the debian users group).  Samba is hopefully on the way,  but back to this nagging problem I have.  I can't seem to mount hdb2... I don't know why, but the following is the information on my second hard drive:   hdb1                primary    linux swap    150.4 hdb2    boot      primary    linux            175.47     I tried to use the following command to mount it:   mount -t ext2 /dev/hdb2 disk2     The Hdb2 partition is set as linux extended and I tried to change that...cfdisk won't let me do it!! Anybody know the answer...ANYBODY? :)
