mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdd1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so
It is a portable usb hard drive which I had working with ext3 I only run Ubuntu 8.04 myself but want to copy files from a windows laptop

Assuming sda3 is the partition you want to mount.
If it is mounting automatically as ext3, you can change /etc/fstab to mount it as vfat.

Is it possible to convert the above. I have already backed it up to another drive. After I format it in Partition Magic What commands do I issue to re mount it .
