hard disk management

[John P. Chambers, LMFT, CSW, LPC]

I downloaded ubuntu 8.04 and booted up using the CD. I have a new hard drive
on my computer 500G WD. Using the material in Ubuntu, all I saw was a sccsi
drive with no identification or size, I would like to format the disk and
load ubuntu on it. Other disks include data and XP and I don't want to
overwrite them. If I can't format with ubuntu, I can load another 500G drive
that has Mandriva on it and format that way. I just assumed that ubuntu must
have a way of finding the drive and formatting it.
 
Thanks,
John
