I assume hat your second HDD is either vfat or 16/32 bit MS-DOS.
In case it NTFS or HPFS read is safe enough but not write.

o Make a mount point on your system: (mkdir /mnt/hdb)
o Mount that partition: mount -t vfat /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb
  (this is assuming that the partition type is vfat, or change
  it to the required type)
o ls /mnt/hdb ... you should be able to read what is there on
  the first partition of the primary slave.
