Based on this, I'm assuming you are using a USB disk formatted on your

There is no such thing as a "ppc" disk, there are just specific
filesystems. You probably don't have the specific support for the
filesystem on your machine. Do you know what filesystem was used on that
disk? Once you find out you can then install the specific packages and
you should be able to access the partitions on the disk.
Also if you could post the kernel message output that would give us some
clues.
