You need to have it mounted.

Possibly the easiest method for you is to use Yast - System - Partitoner

There is a warning - just accept

You should be able to see the hard drive in the list it gives you. Highlight it. And edit.

Make sure do not format is checked. Enter a mount point eg; /media
set fstab options ‘mountable by user’

the drive will be mounted in your tree at /media

Don’t worry if it doesn’t work, Reply back here and we can manually edit /etc/fstab

Yast, System, Partitioner.

You should see the blank disk. Create a partition on the empty drive, format it with the file system of your choice and mount it somewhere.

I assumed it already had partitions that could be selected and mounted

I need to retrieved some very important file

I don’t think he wanted to format it
