    G'day folks

    I had a disk setup via LVM that was the boot disk for one machine I had.
    All of the "partitions" only occur within this one disk. I made the
    mistake of moving that disk, not realising that it would no longer boot
    the machine when I put it back in its original place (seems like you could
    do this for non-LVM disks). Anyway, as you probably figured out I am
    semi-retarded when it comes to disks, and especially LVM. I have tried
    mounting this disk on another machine, but it won't let me do it (some
    message about it having LVM structure). I have searched around the
    archives, but haven't found anything because obviously most people who
    have any clue about what they are doing wouldn't do what I did.

    My first priority is to try and get a couple of files off the disk. The
    second would be to make it boot again on the original machine I had it set
    up on. Would someone please consider offering me some suggestions on what
    to try? It would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks
    Peter Unmack
