There are 2 options.

a) There is probably an entry in /etc/fstab which mounts the partition 
to /data1. Make a directory /home/peter/videos and then change the entry 
in /etc/fstab to mount the partition to the new location. To edit the file 
use the command

gksu gedit /etc/fstab

in a terminal if you use Gnome or

kdesu kate /etc/fstab

if you use KDE.

b) Make a link /home/peter/videos -> /data1. You can do it with the 
command

ln -s /data1 /home/peter/videos

in a terminal.
