first make a place to mount it
# mkdir /mnt/win
then mount it
#mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/win
it should pick up the filesystem type automatically, if not re run the

/dev/hda1 is a device file. it is the kernel's abstraction of the
physical collection of the disk blocks that make up a partition.
raw tools like dd can overwrite those blocks. if you want to destroy
/dev/hda1's data try dd'ing or cat'ing /dev/zero to it.

The filename /dev/hda1 refers to a device driver that knows how to access
your hardware.
It doesn't know anything
And I am sure that Don will not suggest that Windows is easier for this

Because that is the raw device file.

So that you can access your data via the file system
