    Just insert the disk and reboot. After that partitions of the drive will be available as /dev/hdb1, /dev/hdb2,.... You can either manually mount them to folders (mount /dev/hdb2 /MyFolder) or insert proper lines in /etc/fstab.

    To format the disk just run "Partitioning" under Yast, then "Create" and give parameters of partitions

    [I did this on IBM Thinkpad A31 under SuSe 10.1]
