The old Zip disks were partitioned and the ext2 file system was created there according to the recipe above on 7.3, but they cannot be mounted on 8.1 via

It's strange. What is the output of "e2fsck -fn /dev/hdd1" for these disks?
linux:/home/micaye # e2fsck -fn /dev/hdd1 e2fsck 1.28 (31-Aug-2002) e2fsck: Invalid argument while trying to open /dev/hdd1 The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 <device> Yes this disk was created under 7.3 and no it will not mount under 8.1 .
