well, you have to know where the disk is mounted. you see, /dev/hda5 is the name of the device, but to list it's contents, you have to mount it on a directory. i'd look into the /mnt/ directory first. if that doesn't help, you should remember when you ran the 8.2 installer, the part when you can manage the partitions, it says the "mount point" for each of them. anyway, you can run the installer again, and when you get to the mount points part, write down all the info, quit the installer and go to the rescue again.
