I can't give you a complete procedure but the
steps are;
1. Physically install the drive.
2. Run Linux fdisk and partition it. (man 8 fdisk)

3. mke2fs to setup the ext2 filesystem (man 8
mke2fs)
4. Add an entry(s) in /etc/fstab to mount the
partition(s) (man 5 fstab)
    Lookin at the entrys in your current
/etc/fstab will probably help
There is some useful information in
/usr/doc/HOWTO/mini/Large-Disk
I'll be glad to answer any specific questions
Good Luck and have fun learning
