I'm assuming the file system on your old drive was ext3. I'm 
also assuming your new drive is /dev/hda and your old drive is
/dev/hdb.

At a command prompt, make a directory e.g. in your home directory:

mkdir olddrive

then, as root, mount whatever partitions you want from the old drive,
e.g.

mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb5 olddrive

To see what partitions you actually have on /dev/hdb, before mounting
anything you run an fdisk on it:

/sbin/fdisk -l /dev/hdb
