Create Mount Points
For example, if the drives are /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdc1, then create mount points:
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/disk1 /mnt/disk2
Manually Mount the Drives
sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/disk1 sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdc1 /mnt/disk2
NOTE: Replace ext4 with your actual filesystem type, if this differs.
