Mounting...?

Hi everyone, this is the first time I have ever properly used Linux - I run Red Hat Linux 8. I have two hardrives, my main 80gig, and my "extra" 15gig, I would like to be able to gain access to my 15gig and view the files. I know to view files on a floppy disk or a cd you need to mount the drives; I am *assuming* you do this with the hard drives also. If so; could someone please kinda advice me on how to mount this drive properly so I can gain access to it? Thanks alot for everyones time Smilie.

Edit: Incase it makes any difference, the hardrive is NTFS formated.

I tried to mount as such:

$ mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb /mnt/hdd2


But I get an output error of:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb, or too many mounted file systems


Thanks once again Smilie
