Hi all, 

This is my first post, please bare with me! I tried to upgrade Win98 to
Win2K this weekend and the end result was 'Missing Operating System' error
at bootup. Nice, eh? Then the install disk couldn't even recognize my
drives. I tried installing NT and recognized the drives, but couldn't read
them. That was my cue to install something a little more predictable, like
RedHat 6.1. 

I installed RH6.1 on what used to be the C: drive, after I wiped the MBR
with 'fdisk /mbr'. I'd like to get at the data on my D:, E:, and F: drives,
that should have been left intact. I've tried using 'auto' for the fstype in
fstab with no luck. I've also tried...

mount -t vfat /dev/hda5 /d

without success. I get an error like 'invalid fs type option, or ...'
basically a list of things that could be wrong without narrowing it down.
I'm guessing there's at least a chance that my drive is corrupted, but I'd
like to make one more attempt at rescuing the data. Any ideas? 

-John
