I can mount the NTFS drive and I can mount sdb2 if I don't specify the
filesystem type. That's where Grub is in a folder with the 2 kernel
config, initrd, systme.map and vmlinuz files. I haven't figured out how
to mount the sdb1 partition and the sdb3 LVM partition claims to be
mounted already although I don't know where to look for it. Maybe it
will mount if I try a link. 

[root at localhost ~]# mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /media/d2p1
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1,
       missing codepage or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

Failed to read last sector (390716801): Invalid argument
Perhaps the volume is a RAID/LDM but it wasn't setup yet, or the
wrong device was used, or the partition table is incorrect.
Failed to startup volume: Invalid argument
Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/sdb1' doesn't have a valid NTFS.
Maybe you selected the wrong device? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/hda, not /dev/hda1)? Or the other way around?

Here's grub

I wonder if it's worth all this work. I could just reinstall from the
Negus Fedora 7 dvd although would I not find myself in the same place
again after an update? What could be the source of the problem? I used
the disk check option when I partitioned.
