hi,
i have got a system with win95(hda1) and linux(hda5). i didnt mount the win95
partition. but i was fiddling with /dev directory as root. at one point of
time i redirected ls to /dev/hda1. because of that the win95 partition got
corrupted and was not getting booted.

my question is:
    when i havent mounted the win95 partition, how is it that that partition
is accessible?
    how /dev/file is related to the device when not mounted?

Thanx
Jay
