Yo. I want to be able to read a file from a (corrupted?) hard drive.

The file was in win xp format, but I stuffed up the disk when I had it 
connected to a Linux machine.
Now Windows says that drive need a formatting, and I'd like to ask Linux 
what it can see on that drive.
If and then, maybe copy the critical file somehow onto a windows partition 
or even a floppy.

As a newbie, I can barely complete the exercise of mounting a floppy, by 
typing in the following..
    mount   -t   vfat    /dev/fd0   /mnt/floppy

So can some kind soul please tell me the corresponding mantra for mounting 
a second hard drive?
I have tried variations  like   /mnt/hda1  and /dev/hda without any 
success, or much in the way of comprehension either.

Yassou!
