I use fdisk
fdisk /dev/hdb
if you need to remove partitions first use d
to create a partition use n
you can have 4 primary partitions
you could create three primary and one extended partitions, then create logical drives in the extended partition.
If your planning to use the entire drive on 4 or less partitions you can make them all primary
you should look over the howto or man pages for fdisk before you start
