I removed the 80gB WindowsXP hard drive [/dev/sda] and replaced it
with a larger drive on which I installed F9 from a Live CD. The
second drive [dev/sdb] has F8 on it, my primary Linux until this
morning. I would like to extract some configuration date from the F8
drive but have been unable to access it no matter what I've tried.
The problem is that it uses the LVM designations which I can't seem to
deal with instead of the old "/dev/sda" etc. I am lost!
Fortunately I have another F8 computer with most of the config data
duplicated on it but I still want to be able to use the secocnd drive
in this box. I'm not sure what data to provide or even what question
to ask other than how do I go about getting access to the old F8
system. Grub only offers the the new F9 install.
Fdisk shows the following:
# fdisk -l /dev/sda

Any suggestions appreciated.
