CentOS - Feb 2006 - can't mount any secondary drive partitions

Hi,

I have just installed centos 4.2 on machine remotely and everything went 
well, a second drive was installed, I partitioned it, rebooted and then 
tried to mount it but keep getting the error

mount: /dev/hde6 already mounted or /mnt/1 busy

this happens with every partition on any secondary disk, we put a third 
disk in and get the same error.

I have googled but not found anything relevant, most info relates to LVM 
or raid of which we have neither.

any help greatly appreciated.

tom

it may look like your trying to mount you new partition over you  
current root partition instead of on a new mount point , what is you   
mount command for the /dev/hde6
