Mounting...?

You would need to do:
$ mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb /mnt/hdd2
The '-t' flag indicates to mount what filesystem the partition is. You were telling it ext3fs which is the linux native filesystem.
This assumes that you have support for NTFS compiled in, which by the way you probably don't. In this case you will have to follow this link and download and install the correct RPM.
Then you will be able to mount as I showed you above.
**BEWARE** Linux NTFS support is considered to most as read ONLY. Writing may corrupt your data.
To make sure you do not write to the partition accidentely you can mount it as so:
$ mount -t ntfs -o ro /dev/hdb /mnt/hdd2
The option 'ro' indicates to mount it as read-only.
The command 'man mount' will tell you all the other thrilling things you can do with mount, also look at man fstab.
ps. If you are not sure which is the correct locatation for the device/partition you are trying to mount, the command 'fdisk -l' (as root) will list all your drives/partitions.
Have fun, welcome to the brotherhood

switch_root
SWITCH_ROOT(8) System Administration SWITCH_ROOT(8) NAME
switch_root - switch to another filesystem as the root of the mount tree SYNOPSIS
switch_root [-hV] switch_root newroot init [arg...] DESCRIPTION
switch_root moves already mounted /proc, /dev and /sys to newroot and makes newroot the new root filesystem and starts init process. WARNING: switch_root removes recursively all files and directories on the current root filesystem. OPTIONS
-h, --help show help and exit -V, --version show version number and exit RETURN VALUE
switch_root returns 0 on success and 1 on failure. NOTES
switch_root will fail to function if newroot is not the root of a mount. If you want to switch root into a directory that does not meet this requirement then you can first use a bind-mounting trick to turn any directory into a mount point: mount --bind $DIR $DIR SEE ALSO
mount(8), chroot(2), init(8), mkinitrd(8) AUTHORS

The switch_root command is part of the util-linux package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/. util-linux June 2009 SWITCH_ROOT(8)
