Mounting luks encrypted external HD

[sentry]

So I had a WD 500 gig HD that was on a short ride to implosion-ville. While I could still read and write data to it it was extremely slow but ultimately accessible. I took it out and replaced it with a new HD and picked up a kit to convert the old HD to a USB one. I can plug it in and read my old windows partition fine (albeit slowly) in both Windows and Linux but I am completely at a loss as to how to mount my old encrypted fedora partition:confused:

Can anyone help me out here??

hi!!!!!!!
do you want to mount that "fedora-encrypted-partition" from Windows or Linux? :cool:
Supposing that you were using LUKS, if you are running Linux you could try:
su -
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/DEVICENAME luks-fedora
mkdir /mnt/luks-fedora
mount /dev/mapper/luks-fedora /mnt/luks-fedora
replace DEVICENAME with your device's path. :cool:

bye!!!!!!:):)

Ok so I've done as you've suggested Bee but I'm getting the following error; mount: unknown filesystem type 'lvm2pv'. So it looks like this is a volume that I'm trying to mount...

Any ideas how I can mount it??

Edit: Found it - had to run
vgscan --mknodes
vgchange -ay

Then I mounted the partition using mount /dev/mapper/VolGroup01-LogVol02 /mnt/usb-hd/
