There shouldn't be. Can you post what you're using to mount each partition?
I have a crashed HDD that is on WinXP with Two Partitions
The boot partitions reads fine but I cannot load the Second partition.
It comes back with an error that says that I may have too many devices
mounted but this is the ONLY HD I have connected. It is a SATA 120GB
I was wondering if there is some size limitation on reading these partitions?
THanks in advance!

I'm using the latest build of the Knoppix Live CD
The first Partition runs fine (with the exception of
bad areas) where it hangs...
But I cannot get the second partition to be recognized.
I'm not mounting it manually, just booting off the CD
and then just clicking on the icon HDA1 and it opens
up a browser window with that partitions contents.
Both of the partitions are about 70GB

sounds like a bad disk getting worse
