usually this would cover it:

mke2fs /dev/hdb2 (where hdb2 is your 2nd )

mount /dev/hda2 /newdir (where newdir is the directory where you want to mount it to)

now to my question...

are you trying to mount a new disk or trying to create a new partition on a current disk?

I'm trying to install it on my sata drive but for some reason it's not picking up ?

Install what? A mount point?

First create a mount point by creating a directory of what you want
this mount to be called.

mkdir mynewmountpoint


then mount as ujr described
