 RT> Device hda0 if it exists would probably be the partion table itself,

  :) Traditionally, there's no /dev/hda0, it's called /dev/hda (b3,0) and
that's the _whole_ disk with all sectors.

 RT> then be the extended partion, hda4 & hda5 should be the logical partions,

  No. "Logical" partitions start with hda5: hda[1-4] are reserved
for the MBR.
