If you aer using a USB connection (eg caddy), just plug it in. Linux
will recognise it and generally mount the partitions under /media/antonio/

If you are connecting direct to the main board, you'll need to power of,
then attach and reboot. It should mount under /media/antoino/

You can specify a better mount piint in /etc/fstab if you prefer.
