How to format new hard drive in Linux

There are many manuals or how-to everywhere in website, but in this case I will make it very KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid!)

ISSUE: I want to format a newly purchase hard drive to be a Linux ready file system (it can be IDE, SATA, SCSI) but in this case I use SATA 750 GB

SOLUTION:

1. First I plug SATA Hard Drive to it's proper SATA slots, in my case I plug to SATA3 coz SATA0,1,2 are occupied already. Remember when you plug your SATA you have to put power supply as well, there are two types of power supply now a days the white one a typical for IDE and the latest one is the black with many pins. Note: if you purchase SATA that has two power supply just plug only one.

2. Boot your Linux box

3. If you are not a text based savvy no worries use gparted or qtparted but can be used as GUI base, but in this How-to I will teach the classic old school, the text based. For GUI user go ahead with Next Next Ok Ok mouse procedure, for text savvy let's go ahead.
