I've not run SuSE on a box at home, but look into two things:

There should be a package manager or software center in your menu options... look for the same relevant plugins that you would on Windows (Flash Player and such).

Depending on the drives you are trying to access, look into mounting them: mount - Linux man page

Is it a Windows drive by any chance? You might need to install NTFS support. The package you'll need is, I think, ntfs-3g
