If the drive is IDE it will be at /dev/hda, /dev/hdb, /dev/hdc, or /dev/hdd. Run fdisk to partition it. And then format the partitions with mkfs and appropriate parameters. Make a directory(s) in your file system where you will mount the partition(s). Add the mount point to fstab if desired. See http://www.redhat.com/mirrors/LDP/docs.html for indepth info. If you want to move an existing file system to the new drive then you may want to search the archives because there have been many good tips on how to accomplish this.
