If the other harddrive is on the same computer, you don't need nfs to
read it. Just use the mount command to mount the appropriate device. I
don't know what your setup is, but I have two IDE harddrives on my
computer. One of them is /dev/hda and the other is /dev/hdb. I'm not
sure if you know this already, but the different partitions on a
harddrive are referenced using numbers. So, for example, the first
partition of harddrive A on my computer is /dev/hda1.

My second harddrive (/dev/hdb) is a 30 gig windows (FAT32) formatted
disk. I can access it using the following mount command:

# mount -t vfat /dev/hdb1 /mnt/windows

This must be executed as root. The -t option specifies which format to
use. "vfat" specifies the FAT32 file format. You can only specify the
format if it's supported in your kernel. You can check what filesystems
are supported by checking /etc/filesystems (at least, that's the name of
the file on my Redhat box).
