| I have two drives, 80GB ide and 80GB S-ata.
I have GAG installed on the ide drivewhich is set to boot first and I
can select Linux(ide drive) or Windoze(SATA).
If I select Linux, I can select Knoppix or Fedora from GRUB.
With Knoppix I can use the SATA drive for files I may want to load into
GIMP, OpenOffice etc. but can't access the Fedora partition.
With Fedora, I can't find the KNoppix partition or the whole of the SATA
drive.
How can I get Fedora to see (and use) all of these partitions??

What do I mount? Where do I look (what settings)?

The easiest way is to copy the entries from /etc/fstab for each
distribution into the other's /etc/fstab (leaving out duplicates of
course). For the root of the other distro just create a mount mount with
the distro's name, for example /fc4, and use it for the partition name in
/etc/fstab. Another way to do this is to use webmin. Webmin has a pretty
good partition manager which sees all of the partitions and allows you to
add the partitions to /etc/fstab.

OK try this, /sbin/fdisk -l
this is what I get on this system.
# /sbin/fdisk -l
Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40020664320 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4865 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 973 7815591 b W95 FAT32
/dev/hda2 974 986 104422+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda3 987 2261 10241437+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda4 2262 4865 20916630 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 2262 2388 1020096 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda6 2389 4865 19896471 b W95 FAT32
create a directory for the ones you want to mount, I've put mine in /mnt
You can then manually mount each partiton, (read, man mount) or set up
/etc/fstab to mount them automatically
