because the _disk_ sda doesn't house a filesystem, the _partiton_ |
| 22 |
sda1 does. You need to find out where that partition started and ended |
| 23 |
on the disk sda. My thought was maybe windows would format it the same |
| 24 |
way twice, in which case you can format and then get the partitioning |
| 25 |
information out of the device, reformat, write the part of /tmp/r1 that |
| 26 |
coincides with the partition, cross fingers, and try mounting. |
