You need to format the drive as a Linux partition, using "fdisk",
which comes with the distribution.  You could also try reading the
HOW-TOs on installation and partitioning.  Doesn't RedHat have some
automated way of doing this?

ps. could you sort your news program so that it doesn't post articles
this messed up?  it's very hard to read them.
