Can't find the answer to this one so I thought I'd ask here. I'm trying for the first time to make a backup of my DTivo HD. I've read all the instructions that came with MFSTools and thought I was ready. Got the A drive in the PC as directed. Linux sees the full size of the drive, so it's not locked. On to the next step. I type:
mkdir /mnt/dos
No prob so far. I type the next line:
mount /dev/hda /mnt/dos
I get "mount: you must first specify the filesystem type"
What gives with this? anyone seen this? anyone have a solution?
Thanks in advance

Try using /dev/hda1 /mnt/dos
If your DOS drive has more than one partition, you might have to change that to a 2 or 3, depending on where the FAT or FAT32 partition is.
