How can I mount hda3 please?
You can't, directly.

This is very similar to the system you were asking about yesterday,
isn't it? Where you wanted to mount "windows"?
The same applies to /dev/hda3 here as applied to /dev/sdb3 on that
system. This partition is an LVM and is under the control of LVM, you
don't mount it directly. In fact you never actually mount a physical
partition, you mount filesystems. Until the advent of software RAID and
LVM a filesystem normally equated to a physical partition but that is
not necessarily true any longer. Here I presume that /dev/hda3 does not
have a filesystem on it so it can't be mounted.
As Andy points out in his reply you need use the LVM tools to determine
what logical volumes you have on the system as a whole. With LVM you
create filesystems on logical volumes and mount those. Logical volumes
are allocated from a volume group which is composed of a number of
physical volumes. A physical volume is a partition handed over to LVM
using pvcreate.
The physical partition /dev/hda3 could be a single logical volume, or it
could be a part of a larger logical volume, or it could be split into
multiple logical volumes. Only LVM knows.
