"It looks bad Ray".  You're /dev/hdb2 doens't look right at all - See how
the start and end points of partition 2 and 5 are the same?  I suspect that
should be your extended parition but it's ID has been set to Win95. I doubt
you can mount /dev/hdb2 but try /dev/hdb5.  I don't know what to recomend if
your partition table looks screwy like that.  Maybe you can just set it back
to type 6 and all will be well but really all bets are off. :/
