my advice would be to ignore the redhat tools alltogether.  on your command 
line do the following:

fdisk /dev/hdX (where "X" is the letter for that drive.  normally "a/b/c/d")

<partition the drive and save changes  (man fdisk for help)>

mke2fs -j /dev/hdX# (where "#" is the partition number you made up in fdisk)

  edit fstab to mount your new drive wherever you'd like:

/dev/hdX#  <mountpoint> ext3  noatime 0 0


an example of the above:

fdisk /dev/hdb
 <inside fdisk>
    n
    p
    1
    <enter>
    <enter>
    w

mke2fs -j /dev/hdb1

mkdir /mnt/bigdrive

vi fstab
  <inside fstab, add this line:>
    /dev/hdb1 /mnt/bigdrive ext3 noatime 0 0


have fun ;-)
