First, find out what device it is. When you plug it in, run "dmesg" to see what it's ID is. For instance, run
dmesg | grep sd
And find a line like
[42723.415115] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdf] 2015231 512-byte hardware sectors (20148 MB)
This means that the device is known to the kernel as /dev/sdf.
Now identify what partition you want to mount. If the drive has only one partition, it would be /dev/sdf1. The second partition would be /dev/sdf2, etc... Make a mount point for it in /media, and mount it. You will need root permissions.
mkdir /media/disk-1
mount /dev/sdf1 /media/disk-1
