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
