Tomek, First, you need to create the new partition(s) on it. You can do this from the command line by doing fdisk /dev/hdx --where x depends on where it is on your ide cable (ide0 primary is hda, ide0 slave is hdb, ide1 primary is hdc, ide1 slave is hdd).
After that, you need to create the filesystem by doing an mke2fs or mkreiserfs depending on whether you want to use reiserfs or ext2. Finally, you need to add a line in your /etc/fstab, and do a 'mount -a' -- make sure that your mount point in /etc/fstab exists and is not being used by another partition--you can check which partitions are mounted by doing a 'df -h' or checking /etc/mtab. At that point, once it has been mounted, you are ready to copy files to it.
