Try this;

/dev/hdc1   /mnt/hdd    vfat    defaults   0 0

the number defines which partition (1) on the disc (hdc) to mount, you
also might want to call the mount point (/mnt/hdd) somthing more logical...

If you still get the same error, then mount does not know what fs type
you have (try auto instead of vfat)
