It doesn't matter if it's logical, as long as you can find out the partition
name. Easiest way, try the following trial and error:
mount /dev/hdaX /mnt/mountpoint
replace X with 1,2,3,4, etc until you find all your partition. It won't do any
harm. Don't forget to umount first if it sucessfully mount. If hdaX is not a
valid partition, you just get error message from mount (Of course, adjust the
device name accordingly, if this is a primary slave, then you need /dev/hdb
instead, etc).
Another way is using fdisk:
fdisk /dev/hda
and then type 'p' to show you all your partition table so that you know what
partition number contains what. (NOTE : Be Carefull using fdisk, if you type
the wrong thing you may end up reformating your hard drive, but other then
that, it's save).
