Two separate VolGroup00 on two disks

[Oliver Ruebenacker]

     Hello,

  A laptop computer with dual-boot Linux/Windows crashed, so I removed
the hard disk and attached it to a Linux-only desktop. Both systems
are Fedora with a physical boot partition and a logical partition as
root. The desktop recognizes its own hard disk as /dev/sda and the
laptop hard disk as /dev/sdb. I can easily mount the boot partition
(/dev/sdb3). pvs reports that each hard disk has a partition
(/dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb5) belonging to VolGroup00. There is one
/dev/VolGroup00 which appears to belongs to /dev/sda2. How do I mount
/dev/sdb5?

  The situation in detail:
