Determine where is the disk/partition and then mount it -first attempt-
as usual, i.e. (do not copy/paste, adjust it to your needs):

mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt



Thanks. it works.


Good :-)


just a little question here,

I only have 2 partitions in hard drive, why there are 6 sdb which ranges
from sdb1 to sdb6.


Dunno... attach the drive and give us the output of (as root):

fdisk -l /dev/sdb


I even don't know which two exactly are the true one, so tried one by
one.

are there some way to identify each? sdb.


Yes, you can "label" partitions to identify them :-)

Look:

stt008:~# blkid|grep sdc
/dev/sdc1: LABEL="PRUEBAS" UUID="F839-2B41" TYPE="vfat"
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

That's my small USB flash drive (128 MiB) with just one partition on it
that's labeled "PRUEBAS" and then I can mount it by issuing:

sm01@stt008:~$ umount /media/PRUEBAS

stt008:~# mount -L PRUEBAS /media

stt008:~# mount|grep -i sdc
/dev/sdc1 on /media type vfat (rw)

How to give a label to a partition? I always make that step when
formatting the drive but it can be done afterwards with "tune2fs" or


Yeah, I also gave them name during initial formatting, which can be
recognized in Desktop environment,
but in console, not be able to do that.
If you have the util-linux package installed you can identify the partitions by running cfdisk /dev/sdb ln the console. If you have them Labeled cfdisk does display them. 

Thanks, now I figured out which ones are the ones by mounted them one by
one.
May I suggest that you install the debian-reference package for your language and read through it. Doing so will better prepare you for, not only running your system better but might also help in your troubleshooting of it. It is a must for newbies and not-so-newbies because of the wealth of information it contains about Debian Linux. 

Hope this helps
