Embarrassing newbie question but I have to ask.

I've found a drive where I have the original Tivo image backed up but I don't know what tools I used (maybe MFS, maybe not) and I cannot seem to view the contents of the drive while booted under the MFS boot CD (it does show up as hda and I'm quite sure it is a linux drive). I'm guessing I have to mount it to view the directories, but how?

I'm going to have to dig through the disk to find the backup file.

Thanks.

Assuming that there is one partition on the drive

mount /dev/hda1 /mnt

will mount the drive. Then use the ls command to list the contents of the drive.

Which makes all the difference in the world from:

mount /dev/hda

Thank you very much.
