/dev/hda3 is not a block device

[Bob Goodwin <robert.goodwin2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have just reinstalled RH9 on /dev/hdb and would like to be able to 
extract some configuration and data files from /hda3 which contained my 
previous RH9 installation. However when I try to mount it I get an error 
message:

# mount /dev/hda3
mount: /dev/hda3 is not a block device

fdisk -p /dev/hda  lists the partiton as still there. Nothing seems to 
have changed on that drive. The new installation works fine but I would 
like to be able to take a few files from the first drive.  

I created /mnt/hda3 and have messed with /etc/fstab but nothing seems to 
help.  There's something happening that I'm not aware of! My ignorance 
is showing.  Can anyone see what's wrong?

Thank you.
