Uh, I just actually tried to mount to /dev/hdb5, and it worked. I can
access my files there. I'm not really sure what happen. But I remember when
I partitioned my HD with PQ magic, it says that win95 cannot handle more
than 1 primary partition, that's why it then created an extended/logical
partition (/dev/hdb2) and another partition under that extended partition
so that win95 can access it.... somehow. When I did fdisk then, it looks
like as if both /dev/hdb2 and /dev/hdb5 starts from the same point, but I
think it was the PQ magic doing.
OK, I'm starting to confuse my self again, so I better stop :). Thanks
Matthew for your help, I appreciated it.
