Turned out to be a bad cable ( or unterminated one)... Swapped cables, plugged it in and both drives were detected. I went into the 2940's setup utility to ensure it could see them before booting up fully. Found out that the drives were partitions with NTFS. Go figure, it was a home system with only 4.3GB HDD's. Initially, I tried: #mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /disc1 Got the typical, "wrong superblock or partition type" error. So, then I did a standard mount without any options, and it could read them just as if they were a normal windows drive. I wound up putting a couple of entries into my fstab using the ntfs label and I can read the data fine. Bad part is that it's read-only, but I don't care. It's readable.
