What do you mean by "How can I see my WD314 gb on the screen ..."?

Is there a filesystem on your WD drive?
Is that filesystem mounted on your Raspbian system?
Are you running the GUI or booting to the command line?

Right click on the desktop, bottom of the menu to Desktop Preferences. Second tab, Desktop Icons, tick show connected volumes on desktop.

you have to use a program like gparted to make data partitions on the disk first before you can use it.
