How to mount internal drive just formatted to ext3

[Pumalite]

I took one of the drives that belonged to Windows and was empty and formatted it to ext3. Now the question is how do I mounted so it would appeared in my suse ( a different drive)??

macho@linux-wwtz:~> su
Password:
linux-wwtz:/home/macho # mount /dev/hdd1
mount: can't find /dev/hdd1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
linux-wwtz:/home/macho # /dev/hdd1
bash: /dev/hdd1: Permission denied
linux-wwtz:/home/macho #

This is the output of my fstab:

/dev/hdb2 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1
/dev/hdb3 /home ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2
/dev/hda1 /windows/C ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0
/dev/hdb1 swap swap defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0
debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0

How should I change it? Your help is much appreciated. I'm a newbie.

This is my mtab:

/dev/hdb2 / ext3 rw,acl,user_xattr 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0
debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs rw 0 0
udev /dev tmpfs rw 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
/dev/hdb3 /home ext3 rw,acl,user_xattr 0 0
/dev/hda1 /windows/C ntfs ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,gid=100,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0
securityfs /sys/kernel/security securityfs rw 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy vfat rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,sync,user=macho 0 0

Sorry, please move it to Hardware.

Is this

/dev/hda1 /windows/C ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0

the drive that used to be Windows and now is formated as ext3 ?
If so, then you can mount it this way:

mkdir /mnt/somedirectory
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/somedirectory

post the output of 'fdisk -l' and 'df -h' commands.

Thanks a lot, Casper. This is the output:

linux-wwtz:~ # mkdir /mnt/xwindowsd
linux-wwtz:~ # mount /dev/hdd1/xwindowsd
mount: can't find /dev/hdd1/xwindowsd in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
linux-wwtz:~ #

I think hda1 is 120 GB and is installed with windows XP, and is already mounted. I have no doubt that the drive I formatted was 40 GB and nominated hdd1; from my Yast Partitioner:

/dev/hdd 37.3GB SAMSUNG-SV0411N
/dev/hdd1 37.3GB Linux native.

Here is the output os fdisk -l:

I appreciate your help very much.
PS. I have three drives in my system: C: ntfs 120GB installed Windows XP Pro,
What used to be D: 40 GB in my old system ntfs Windows and that I used to install Suse, and E: 40 GB that was Windows ntfs and is now Linux native, and is the one I'm trying to mount (/dev/hdd or /dev/hdd1 according to partitioner).

Thanks a lot, Casper. This is the output:

linux-wwtz:~ # mkdir /mnt/xwindowsd
linux-wwtz:~ # mount /dev/hdd1/xwindowsd
mount: can't find /dev/hdd1/xwindowsd in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
linux-wwtz:~ #

/dev/hdd1 37.3GB Linux native.

... Your command was almost right: mount /dev/hdd1/xwindowsd

You need to run this:

mount /dev/hdd1 /mnt/xwindowsd

The first argument is the physical device (/dev/hdd1), the second is where you want it mounted (/mnt/xwindowsd)

[devils casper]

linux-wwtz:~ # mkdir /mnt/xwindowsd
linux-wwtz:~ # mount /dev/hdd1/xwindowsd
mount: can't find /dev/hdd1/xwindowsd in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
linux-wwtz:~ #

what filesystem hdd disk has? ext3, xfs or reiserfs?
you have to specify filesystem too.

mount -t <filesystem> /dev/hdd1 xwindowsd

[QUOTE=devils_casper]what filesystem hdd disk has? ext3, xfs or reiserfs?

mount -t <filesystem> /dev/hdd1 xwindowsd

[/QUO

This is the output:

linux-wwtz:~ # mount -t ext3 /dev/hdd1 /mnt/xwindowsd
linux-wwtz:~ #

The problem is that I still can't see the drive. ( it' ext3). I went to /dev and I found hdd1 with a big red X on it, and when tried to open, a message: " Couldn't display /dev/hdd1".???
What to do now?

[devils casper]

its mounted in /mnt/xwindowsd folder. check that folder.

ls /mnt/xwindowsd

[Pumalite]

Thanks, Casper. I'm in trouble! I think I made mistakes. How to fix it?

linux-wwtz:~ # ls /mnt/swindowsd
ls: cannot access /mnt/swindowsd: No such file or directory
linux-wwtz:~ #

I tried to fins a folder xwindowsx in /dev, but couldn't find it. All I found was hdd1 with the X.

[devils casper]

create a folder and mount hdd1 again.

mkdir /mnt/hdd1
mount -t ext3 /dev/hdd1 /mnt/hdd1
ls /mnt/hdd1
