mount -t reiser /dev/hda1 /mnt next: mount -t reiser /dev/sda1 /mnt2

Can't remember, but I did have some like type issue when I last did a hard drive back up this way. Remember having to use some other
commands to actually see the hard drive in the finish. Still, Mephis may be more friendly this way, so to check it out do attempt to look inside
the partition to see whether or not you recognize any of your window files.
Now off to study riccardo's commands to see what I can learn from them.
