I was preparing my HDD for a 'frugal' install.
I used 'fdisk' to delete all existing partitions and to add a new linux partition.
I then rebooted (I think I was supposed to add a file system to the partition before doing this?)
Now I can't see /dev/hda when I type 'mount' in the terminal.
Can someone please help me out?  Is there a linux command that can help me?

Cheers

*EDIT*
Fixed it.  I didn't realise that I could still call /dev/hdb with fdisk even though it wasn't showing up with 'mount'.  Duh!  I'm such a n00b.
