Ok, with a working system, and booting with the rescue disk/option, fdisk
-l does not work either. When in this mode there doesn't appear to be a

With this disk as a slave I was able to mount it's partitons though. THis
was after I had run e2fsck on them. Perhaps this was what made the
difference.
