The easiest thing to do in this case, is to just go to System->Administration, and click on "Disks".
Select the disk you are interested in, then click on the "Partitions" tab, click on the partition where you put your data.
Then to select a mounting point, click on the "Change" (Access path) button, and just browse/select to the "/media" folder for example.
Then click on the "Enable" button, this will mount the partition. Then just click on "Browse", and it will pop up a Nautilus window showing all your data. 

HTH,
