The hardware will be IDE or SCSI. But the filesystem will be HFS or HFS+.
HFS isn't hard to mount, but HFS+ may require a kernel patch. Haven't tried it myself, but I know it's been causing some grief for the gentoo-on-osx folks.
Is there a way that I can have her check to see what type of filesystem it might be? I don't know much about the admin side of osx. From my understanding, it was a second hd she had added to store data.. so like a secondary disk..if that makes any diff in mac osx.
perhaps i should ask an osx group. ;-)

As Dylan replied, with OSX it is most likely an HFS+ filesystem, but if you want to find out
for sure, have her Ctrl-click on the Macintosh Hard Drive icon. In the "Get Info" box that pops
up, it will say "Macintosh OS Extended" for
HFS+. (If it is HFS it will say something like
"Macintosh OS" or "Macintosh OS Standard".)
