BL is a nice little implementation to work with in a general way but lets be honest, for system recovery on newer computers there are better choices out there.  There are implementations that have the software to handle NTFS drives.  Look for something newer than BL.

Haha, je kan best goed Nederlands spreken, hoor(your Dutch is quite good) :P
The Dutch data you read means this
'Van' means 'From'
'Verz.' means 'Send'
'Aan' means 'To'
'mailinglijst' means 'mailing list'
'Ondrw.' means 'Subject'
So it's just standard data made by the e-mail client.
Where are you from? Germany? Poland?

You are right.

mount -t vfat /dev/hda2 /hd  should mount the D: (FAT32) partition to /hd

(-t vfat = type FAT32)

To see what is on D: (as labelled in DOS or Windows) look at the contents
of /hd with a file manager or

cd /hd
ls -l

(ls -l gives a detailed list of the files and directories in the partition
mounted to /hd)

I learned linux from BL with the help and patience of other list members.
