Use a partitioning program like Parted (or GParted for a GUI) and create a partition. After that, format it so it get's a filesystem and UUID. Enter that UUID in /etc/fstab with the corresponding options and mountpoint and you're done. You can't mount a raw hard disk in Linux (nor in any other OS).
