Your original hard disk(the one that has your OS installed on it) would probably have been detected as hda, and it would've been mounted at "/". Now to mount the second hard disk you would create a mountpoint somewhere on the filesystem, such as /mnt/hd2. Then you mount the second hard disk there. The second hard disk might have been detected as hdb, if there were no other hard disks in the machine.
