Thanks Richard.

It is a ide drive with a ext3 fs on it.
I tried to mount it.
# mount -t ext3 /dev/sdc /mnt/harddrive
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
# mount -t ext3 /dev/sgc /mnt/harddrive
mount: special device /dev/sgc does not exist
Also tried a fdisk /dev/sdc;
# fdisk /dev/sdc
Unable to read /dev/sdc
