Hi BrownPanda.
/dev/hdc sounds like the cd drive. Is your problem accessing a cd or dvd?
How are you attempting to open the usb or external hard drives? Are you using rox-filler, pcmanfm or are you trying from the command line?
If you are trying from the command line, the devices may not be mounted. I am not sure if antix auto mounts such devices. My thought is it does not.
Try using the PCMan File Manager. You can launch it from terminal like this:
pcmanfm &
It will show detected devices in the left pane. Clicking them should mount them and list their contents automaticaly, (at least I think it is mounting and the system isn't automounting.)

Post the contents of your /etc/fstab, BP. As dcbevins said, hdc usually is the cd drive but nowadays I think that /dev/hdc doesn't even exist anymore (only things like /dev/sr0 or /dev/cdrom0).
