I am new to Ubuntu, and I would like to mount a hard disk that Ubuntu
did not mount automatically. How can I mount it manually?

try this

sudo mount /dev/hdd1 /media/yournewdrive

Thanks, Isaru. The point is that I do not know whether it is hdb, hdc,
hdd, etc.? How can I learn that?

Two different ways to do this (there are probably more than two, these
are just the two off of the top of my head):

run this command:

dmesg | less

and look for hd or sd entries. If you new disk is SATA or SCSI, it
will start with sd, not hd.

Way 2:

sudo apt-get install lshw
sudo lshw -class disk

This should list all of the disks in your machine.

Hope this helps.
