..plug it in and see what happens, aka "smoke test it." ;o)
..unless you have a Microsoft engineered flame bait with a
Potato era kernel and Sarge era userland, it'll just work,
even if it might disagree a wee bit with your /etc/fstab
memories, read the smoke test log if you don't see an usb
pop-up offer you something. If you're on a cli-only box,
try " mount -v /dev/sdb1 /mnt " as root.
" swapon -v /dev/sdb5 " should add some (useless usb) swap
confirming your fdisk listing, but you may want to back it
up first with dd if you're trying to rescue a hibernation
crash state or some such.
..also worth reading up on fsck if mount -v suggests issues,
mount -vo,ro /dev/sdb1 /mnt may be preferable.
