When I typ;
mount /dev/hda1
BL says;
Can't find /dev/hda1 in etc/fstab
When I typ;
mount /dev/hda1 /hd
BL says;
VFS; Can't find an ex2 filesystem on dev ide0(3,1).
When I typ;
mount /dev/hda1 /hd /mnt
BL says;
mount; Mounting /dev/hda1 on /hd failed: Device or resource busy
And it says the same when I change 'x' in 'mount /dev/hda1 /hd /'x''

Can you help me out? I don't have really much knowledge in Linux, and this week is the first time I heared about 'mounting'.
