What are you doing at a command line? This is the third millenium!

Just click the drive icon on the desktop. This will open a konquerer window with the contents of this drive shown. Or, at the K menu choose the Quick Browser, which will open konquerer with more options.

At a command line, you will first need to know the partitions' designation, eg: /dev/hda1 ; so that you can mount it: mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 . Once mounted, you can view the contents with the list command: ls /dev/hda1 . The command: dmesg | grep -i hd ; will spew out much information about your installed PATA drives that the system found at startup.
