Hello,

I have a laptop harddrive which had FC3 installed, default filesystem
setup using lvm. Something happened to the drive where it doesn't
boot anymore. So I tried connecting it to another system running fedora 3. is there a way to grab data off the laptop harddrive?

Something like;

vgscan -a
vgchange -ay

should make the VG active. Then you can mount the partitions on it (or just dd them off :) )
