I had Mythtv running with fc1 installed with two hard drives hda and
hdb. I wanted to install fc4 on a new hard drive (hdc) and dual boot
until I got everything transferred over to fc4.
On my fc1 system I had two physical volumes hda5 and hdb1. After my
fc4 install, if I now boot up fc1 I get an error saying,
mount: /dev/VGforMyth/myth is not a valid block device
During the process of installing fc4 I guess I deleted the partition for hdb1.
Is it possible to recover the hdb1 partition on my hdb drive?
Any suggestions on software or ways to do this?
I'm not sure what I did wrong during the install process. I thought I
was careful to only create new partitions on hdc.
This looks fine,
[root at mythtv log]# fdisk -l /dev/hda
Disk /dev/hda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes

But I get nothing for this
[root at mythtv log]# fdisk -l /dev/hdb
Disk /dev/hdb: 102.9 GB, 102935347200 bytes

Thanks for the help.
