Snap Appliance Hard Drive

Hi,

I have a Snap Appliance 1100 and the hardware has recently decided to quit working, the system no longer wants to power on. Anyhow, I know the data is still good, because I got it to turn on once, but wasn't able to move all the data off of it. So I am trying to come up with an alternate way to access this data. I tried connecting the drive to my XP machine, but of course XP doesn't recognize the file system. Are there any other options?

Thank you

Phil

I tried doing it with fedora a couple days ago, but I wasn't able to mount it. I am a newbie to linux, however, so I could have been doing something wrong. Could you give me a run down in how to mount a hard drive in linux?

Thanks

Try it with knoppix - it should automount it if it's mountable.

Problem is, I think you have to specify the file system if you mount manually - and we're not sure what that is. Knoppix should be able to handle this automatically though.

If you prefer, I'd you post a link in a linux topic area to this question and someone with better linux skills than I might be able to help further.

I tried Knoppix, but that was unable to automatically mount the drive. Can anyone else provide some help???

Thanks
