OK. You subliminally told me exactly how to mount my hda4, and I thank you very much for it
And as for tricking it, I just created a 10MB part at the end of my drive which became hda3, created a real part for hda4 and deleted hda4.
Then I discovered it wasn't necessary, as all I had to do was edit my FStab
Thanks a heap guys!

What do I do?
You didn't trick cfdisk. It's quite normal to have /dev/hda4 IF you make 4 primary partitions. Otherwise the extended partitions all reside in partition #4 (if you have 3 other primary parts) and it is therefor not seen by partitioning apps.
Secondly, not being able to mount the drive had absolutely nothinhg to do with fstab. You just needed the full command:
mount /dev/hda4 /mount/point
The file /etc/fstab just makes life easier for you by providing the answer to "mount it where?". Glad you got it working.
