Okay, then it's "/dev/sdb" but are you sure? To re-check run "fdisk -l"
as root.

Yes, that's usually managed by DE automounter (nowadays policykit based).

Determine where is the disk/partition and then mount it -first attempt-
as usual, i.e. (do not copy/paste, adjust it to your needs):
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
P.S. May I ask why you cannot access your DE as usual? :-?
