Well, mounting the device in Dolphin, I can see the data. Oops - now I
realise that it was the Windows data partition that I was seeing. There is a
second 'Volume' in Dolphin, and clicking on that bounces immediately to 'home'
(still in Places). This is the location '/media/-home' which contains only
lost+found. Clicking on that brings the message 'Could not enter folder
/media/-home/lost+found'. Entering it as root it says that there are 0 items.
Qtparted sees only my hard drive. I think this output from fdisk refers to
it, though:

Disk /dev/dm-0 doesn't contain a valid partition table
Fdisk and formatting is one place where I do not experiment :-), too
dangerous, so I welcome advice from someone with more experience.
I have used fdisk to prepare an empty disk, but this is definitely beyond my
experience level.
