SirPaul,
 /dev/hda would reference a full drive, and not a partition on the drive. Is that what you intended?

What is the device you are trying to mount? (e.g. hard drive, cdrom ,etc.)

If you could, please attach the output of the command "lshw -class disk"

try sudo fdisk -l

/dev/hda this is your disk, but we still need partition number and it should something like /dev/hda1 or /dev/hda2 ... etc

then try mount as you did if they are ext3, if the filesystem NTFS you need add option -t :
sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/hdc1

Yours,
Waleed
