Hda1 is WindozeXP; the rest is Debian Sarge (ext3)
I suppose you have debian on /dev/hda7 and want to use hda6 for backup.
Did you format /dev/hda6 (mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda6)?
What does mount /dev/hda6 /mnt say?
/dev/hda2 is an extended partition, it does not contain a file system,
thus cannot be mounted.
