from a terminal
sudo fdisk -l
to identify the disk, its not /dev/sda1 etc and it's not the 320GB disk that has the Disk identifier: 0xbfaa347f (tyically /dev/sdb but not always) then do
mount /dev/sdc1 etc
as appropriate. Do not use sudo, do not specify a mount point. These are specified in /etc/fstab
if this doesn't work run sudo fstab-fix (the system has a habit of overwriting fstab entries)
