Accessing a 2nd hard drive

What I have done was a clean install of Fedora Core 3. I have an 80 gig 
hard drive and a 20 gig. During installation I said to go ahead and 
format them both. (Part of the 80 gig was left alone as it contains 
Windows.)

This is what I get when in run /sbin/fdisk -1:

[root at localhost carl]# /sbin/fdisk -l

This is the output of lvdisplay:

How do I access the 2nd hard drive?

I have tried creating a mount point but it says the drive is already 
mounted. The output of "mount" doesn't have anything about LogVol01.

Shouldn't I be able to, for example, create a folder on the 2nd hard 
drive and save my digital photos there? In other words, shouldn;t I be 
able to access the 2nd drive. Or is it set up to be "one big hard drive"?
