I have a zaapa usb external drive.

You didn't say if this drive is new and unused or already used by an other computer (for example XP)?

expected it would. Running evmsgui

I don't know about evmsgui, so I suspect you have a special configuration anywhere..

 fdisk -l

Disk /dev/hda: 100.0 GB, 100030242816 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 12161 cylinders

this and the following is you may disk (windows and linux), don't touch it!

Disk /dev/dm-0: 3150 MB,

this, again, I don't know of. 3150 MB, so 3.1 Gb sort of usb key?? probably better unplug it during the tests, just in case :-)

Disk /dev/dm-1: 48.3 GB, 48323520000 bytes

is your external usb drive 50Gb large? is yes, then you have got it.

it's not formatted.

or may be, there is only one /dev/dm drive with partition 0 and 1, so the two drives I spoke of are only one, 50GiB drives??

the first thing I would like to know before formatting is what is this "dm" disk type?

looks like this: http://oss.gonicus.de/openpower/index.php/Dm-multipath-vscsi

but here I have no knowledge to help you :-(
