Assuming that you have the disk installed as a slave on the
secondary IDE, do:
fdisk -l /dev/hdd
to see a listing of the partitions on hdd and the partition's IDs. You
can then mount the partition you want to use.
A 'man mount' will give you the particulars on options for mounting
most filesystems.
