reading/copying a drive??

[bruce]

Hi.

The drive in question has multiple partitions, but I was only trying
to access the drive as a "raw/data" drive if that was/is possible.

the sys monitor app lists the file systems for the drive as being:
/dev/mapper/vg_dell45-lv_root       /
/dev/mapper/vg_dell45-lv_apps     /apps
/dev/mapper/vg_dell45-lv_backup  /backup
/dev/mapper/vg_dell45-lv_boot      /boot
/dev/mapper/vg_dell45-lv_home    /home

so i assume in order to "see" the drive in the usb bay on the new
system, i'd  mount the drive/partitions using the dir or devicename
which would then get the actual partition/drive contents.

is this close?
