Still very little to go on...


try this:

open a terminal window (get used to people saying this :P )... and issue the following:
Code:
su
<you will be asked for root's password. Enter it>

mount /dev/hdb1

Does the partition mount? Does it give an error? if so issue this:
Code:
dmesg

The last few lines should relate to your mount error. Please post here




My feeling is that your problem is related to the ' su returned an error ' issue



Take care,
