Plug it in. Then open Yast Partitioner. You should see the drive.
Format it and specify the desired mount point.

I go YaST -> System -> Partitioner
- and I only see /dev/hda - no external drive.



I just turned on my external 160 GB drive and it shows up in Partitioner
as /dev/sdc. Do you see anything new, when you plug in that drive?

James, the OP did state that he is using SuSE 10.0, and you are using
10.3. The point here is, does 10.0 have the same ability to recognise
USB drives? If I recall correctly, weren't there some hassles in this
area with SuSE prior to (?)10.2?


I don't recall and I don't have any 10.0 systems running.
