    Hi and Welcome !

    In which filesystem Partitions of External disk are formatted? RHEL doesn't support NTFS out of box. You have to install NTFS support package ( kmod-ntfs for read only access Or ntfs-3g for read/write access ). RHEL support FAT32 read/write access out of box.
    You have to mount partitions of External disk using mount command.
    Code:
    mkdir <folder>
mount -t <filesystem> <partition> <folder> <options>
    Execute fdisk -l command and post output here.
    Code:
    su -
/sbin/fdisk -l
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
