When I tried to connect to the old drive via usb external connection I can see /boot this mounts as sdb1 however iam unable to mount the rest of the drive which i can see in Palimpsest because it says filesystem not recognised.

Do you know if the old drive is an LVM? Did you, when you last
installed, take the defaults? Because, Fedora, in their great wisdom,
does LVM by default---but of course, recovering data from it is
non-trivial. (My own theory is that Ubuntu pays them to drive people
away, but that's another story.)
You might also try asking on Fedora forums--if the old partition is an
LVM then be sure that you put that in the thread's title, there's
several people there with a lot of experience with it.
