It makes no difference to Linux whether it is a
partition on the same drive or a different drive.
--------------------------------------------------------
/dev/hda is the master drive on the primary controller
/dev/hdb is the slave drive on the primary controller
/dev/hdc is the master drive on the secondary controller
/dev/hdd is the slave drive on the secondary controller
--------------------------------------------------------
If the drive in question is not partitioned, then the
partition number is 1. So, if you want to mount an
unpartitioned primary-master IDE drive, use /dev/hda1

Perhaps your KDE tool defaults to a read-only mount.
Obviously this is safer than read-write access.
