Depends on where you've attached it physically to the system:
hda = primary master IDE drive
hdb = primary slave IDE drive
hdc = secondary master IDE drive
hdd = secondary slave IDE drive

SCSI drives start with sda, and just go down the list of letters in the 
alphabet.   Look at the output from dmesg to see how the drive was 
detected if you're unsure.  Then its as simple as mounting the partition:
mount -t <FS> /dev/whatever /mnt/foo
