Problem to save file on the hard disk! What I have to set to do it ?

[Matteo]

Ok, like you have suggested I understood the steps to mount the hardisk, but 
the problem is that the fileio example doesn't mount my hardisk!
I follow the steps suggest from the fileio.doc but after it asks to me to enter 
the partition table of first harddisk ( /dev/hda ) I try to mount the 
partitions and I have an error, He says to me 
" fsmount: mounting of "/dev/hda1" to "/mnt/hda1" failed: No such file or 
directory "  and so on for hda2,3,4 and for hdc1,2,3,4 

Linux partition is on hda3, but the fileio example doesn't mount it !
What's the problem ?

Have you some idea ?

Really Thanks in advance

Matteo
