Not right! It's can be easy to mistyped /dev/hda altough to have it in 2
differents hd is less (possible? sorry for my english!) Try to do
everything in a regular account and be `very careful' when you change to
root. You have really more power when you're root then you would never
have in DOS/Windows and without warning much of the time (Although the
debian are more secure about it than other distributions I try in thepast...)

Good Luck!
