To make use of a drive, you partition it (even if that means using the whole drive as one partition), fdisk is one tool that you can use. A quick glance at the above looks like you've done that okay. Then you format it with a file system (e.g. man mkfs.ext3). Then you mount it (e.g. man fstab &/or man mount). -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
