If it has only one partition and it is ext3 FS do it like this :

mount -t ext3 /dev/hdd1 /mount_point

If it is another file system just change ext3 to something else (ext2...etc).

how about if it has two partitions??

Code:

:: Primary IDE Controller (IDE0)
 hda -> Primary Master
 hdb -> Primary Slave
:: Secondary Controller (IDE1) 
 hdc -> Secondary Master
 hdd -> Secondary Slave

Each partition on a device is referred to by a number, so the first partition on /dev/hdd would be /dev/hdd1, second would be /dev/hdd2...
