The partition table on /dev/hda is inconsistent. There are many
reasons why this might be the case. Often the reason is that
Linux detected the BIOS geometry incorrectly. However, this does
not appear to be the case here. It is safe to ignore, but
ignoring may cause(fixable) problems with some boot loaders,
and may cause problems with FAT file systems. Using LBA is
recommended.

The state of the hard drive is like just a complete format, yesterday.
Only one file was left on the hard drive.
And today I created a Win98 directory and copied some files there.
