Assuming the 250GB you're talking about is a partition, that's what you format (with a mkfs variant), before the partition is mounted. Once you've formatted it, you make a directory anywhere in the filesystem (it has to be a descendent of "/") with "mkdir" and then use the mount command to mount the partition on that directory.
You can change your mind about where to mount it. Just make a directory somewhere else, unmount your partition, and mount it on the new directory.
Edit fstab if you want the partition mounted automatically every time you reboot.
