The second IDE hard disk drive is represented by /dev/hdb, and the first primary partition on that drive would be /dev/hdb1. /dev/hdc is typically used to represent the first device on the second IDE interface (primary master). /dev/hda is typically used to represent the first device on the first IDE interface (primary master). /dev/hdc2 would represent the second primary partition on the second IDE hard disk drive (primary slave), which is not the partition mentioned in the question.
