When I typed;
mount -t vfat /dev/hda2 /hd
BL says;
mount: Mounting /dev/hda2 on /hd failed
The same happened when I replaced 'hda2' with 'hdb1'

You are right.

mount -t vfat /dev/hda2 /hd  should mount the D: (FAT32) partition to /hd

(-t vfat = type FAT32)

To see what is on D: (as labelled in DOS or Windows) look at the contents 
of /hd with a file manager or

cd /hd
ls -l

(ls -l gives a detailed list of the files and directories in the partition 
mounted to /hd)

I learned linux from BL with the help and patience of other list members.
