Hello,
	I am using hdc (a new larger Hd-disk, reiserfs) and want to read and
get files from hda (the old Hd-disk reiserfs). Somehow Hda will no
longer mount-boot at start-up even using the bios, if it did my problem
(lack of understanding) would be in reverse. After getting the files I
will move the old HD, previously the start-up/boot system HD, to another
computer. So this only need to be done once.
	Statement; reading about mount, /ect/fstab/, ect/mtab, has left me
without enough info. Or a lack of understanding as to which option to
choose in this situation.	
	Queston; How do I go about reading and copying files from hda while in
and using hdc? I thought it might be good to mount and read it from
/home/xxx/

	Second question; what "mount" command is issued when I need to simply
add a second hard disk and just add it to the available space
perminently. Is one recomended mount point say for user docs, and one
for recomended.
