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

Ok this is the result of the command "fdisk -l /dev/hda"

Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40007761920 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4864 cylinders
Units = cilindri of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Dispositivo Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1            2678        3014     2706952+  83  Linux
/dev/hda2               1        2677    21502971    c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/hda3            3015        4784    14217525   83  Linux
/dev/hda4            4785        4864      642600    5  Esteso
/dev/hda5            4785        4864      642568+  82  Linux swap / Solaris


looking with gparted I have the result that, hda1 is "FAT16", hda2 is "FAT32",
hda3 is "ext3", hda4 is "exetended", hda5 is "linux swap".

I created hda1 with FAT16 thinking to resolve the problem, but from the fileio
example I have always the same error, 
" fsmount: mounting of "/dev/hda1" to "/mnt/hda1" failed: No such file or 
directory " but now hda1 is FAT16 so it could be right for RTEMS, but it isn't.
Why ?

Can you help me ?

Thanks advanced

MAtteo
