Try parted and see what partitions are there in your harddisk and then use mount command to mount your drives.

[Krytarik]

Try accessing the drive as root: press Alt+F2 and enter "gksudo nautilus".
Very probably that you have to make an entry for the drive/partitions in the file "/etc/fstab". Please post its content and the contents of "/etc/mtab", after you have successfully accessed it with root-rights, which should work.
