It's options were set to mount it read-only, so you shouldn't be able to do any harm if you've mounted the wrong partition. As root, type in the following command line, and it'll list the partitions on your system. If it's not /dev/hda1, you can try the others it lists. (That's a small letter L after the dash, not a number one). e.g. fdisk -l -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
