disk errors... need to reformat
 
i have 2 SCSI hard disks on my redhat 9 computer. 1st disk has everything, /boot, grub, /, everything, the second used to have a back up of my website files. but it got an error on it for some reason... i was wondering how i would go by reformatting and partitioning it? to use it again as a backup disk.

cfdisk to partition

Example:
cfdisk /dev/sdb

mkfs to format

mkfs -t filesystem_type partition

Example:
mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdb1
