The first command won't work if the drive is not hdc
 So you may have to use hdb/d or strap the drive as master
 "fdisk /dev/hdc"
 "mke2fs -cv /dev/hdc1"
 "cd /"
 "mkdir driveC"
 "chmod 777 driveC"
 "mount -t ext2 /dev/hdc1 /driveC"
 "cd /driveC"
 Now write a file
 "touch test" then run "ls" (you should see test)
 "vi [or pico -w] /etc/fstab"
 Add this line
 /dev/hdc1 /driveC 3 3
 Reboot and see it it mounts...
 
"ls /driveC"
 you should see the test file
 You can also moumt the drive someplace else,
 it does not have to be /driveC
 just change the directions referencing /driveC
 
Also some RaQs have the capability in the GUI
IIRC "add storage"
