Command: sudo mount /dev/hda2; sudo emelfm /mnt/hda2
or
Command: sudo mount /dev/hda2 && sudo emelfm /mnt/hda2

I really don't know if this works in xtdesktop, but if the commands are passed to bash it should work.
The first one runs both commands in sequence. The second one runs the second command only if the first is successful.

try putting a semicolon (;) after the first command and before the second, keep it all on one line, should work

Another option (the recommended option) to adding the command to a startup file is to edit /etc/fstab. Look for the the line concerning hda2 and change "noauto" to "auto". If there's no "noauto" you should be able to just add "auto" to the options.
This will automatically mount the drive at boot time.
Note: this is pointless if you're not using HD install.
