Hi Chris.  Use "fdisk -l" as root to see all of the partitions the box 
thinks it has.  Figure out which one is the one you are interested in.

For argument's take lets say you figure out it is /dev/hdb1.  You can do 
this:

mkdir /mnt/hdb1
mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb1

This is only a temporary solution.  Add an entry in /etc/fstab (back it up 
first!) and then umount the partition from /mnt/hdb1 and mount it in the 
correct place.

Cheers,

Rob
