You can read fdisk's man page.

Presumably, your existing drive is /dev/sda.

After you attach your second drive, it should be detected as /dev/sdb.

Then, use fdisk to create partitions on /dev/sdb, mkfs to format them 
(presumably as ext3), figure out where you want to mount them, add them to 
/etc/fstab, and you're good to go.
