Is this a USB HDD that also has memory card slots? For mine, the first
partition is the internal drive, the second is the compact flash slot,
the third is the SD/MMC slot, and the fourth is the Sony MemoryStick
slot. Of course, mounting the mountpoints for those second, third and
fourth partitions will only succeed if there is media in the relevant
slots.

Edward.
