don't know linux vey well, so i hope this makes any sense.

if you understand basic linux file system, you realize there is nodrive lettering, everything is under the / directory. IDE hard drives are recognizeds as something alond the lines of hdA (this is different for SCSI, floppies, other stuff) in short, it should be under something like /dev/hdb, and mounted to /mnt/hdb or /mnt/drived. You should have paid attention when you mounted it in the first plact to know it mountpoint. If you are lost, look under /etc/fstab

The prior answer was good. Assuming you are very new to this, do the following (if you aren't very new, scuse me)

cat /etc/fstab

Take that info and post it in this thread, and it will it easier to answer the question. If you feel like it, you might also do a

ls /proc/ide

or possibly

ls /proc/scsi

(I'm guessing on the scsi, not sure what red hat would call a scsi disk in proc). Anyway that information will help find the disks, and unravel the question.
