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 had no trouble with USB external drives on an up to date SuSE 10.0. It recognized them and mounted them in /media without intervention. With 10.3, it recognizes them, but I have to mount them manually. Look at syslog(s) and see if the system is seeing them.
