create a partition on it:
fdisk /dev/sdx <--- change x to a,b,c or whatever p - print the partition table d - delete the current partitions m - menu n - new partition -> extended n - new partition -> logical w - write changes to disk
look at your new partitions:

find the uuid:
ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/
prepare the mount in /etc/fstab
