Dumb question - is your external case rated for a drive that large?
From the messages, it sounds like the drive is too big. Depending on
the electronics, there is a drive size limit to external cases.

By a process of elimination, unplugging, removing and reseating the HDD,
rebooting etc., I have got the HDD working and am currently copying across
the contents of the NTFS partition (/dev/sdb1).
Also auto-mounted was the boot partition (/dev/sdb2)
However, I can't get the main root partition to mount. As the fdisk shows,
this was a LVM.
Can anyone please tell me how to mount the LVM so I can copy the contents
across.
