I was assuming that fstab was written correctly, and that you were just
trying to access the drive incorrectly.

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
