Accessing other partitions

[SelbyGlenn]

Hi there,

I have just installed Slackware, Redhat and Suse on one HDD.

I now need to access the / partition on SuSE from Redhat but as I am fairly new to Linux I'm not sure how to do this.

I've tried typing:
mount -t ext3 /dev/hda3 /suse
to mount the SuSE partition to the SuSE directory I created but it returns with the error:

VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev ide0(3,3).
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock
on /dev/hda3, or too many mounted file systems.

No other fs are mounted.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Don't specify the filesystem type unless required. It should be able to find out by itself.

Try 'mount /dev/hda3 /suse'
