You create partitions with the fdisk program. In Linux fdisk does not write to the data partitions at all, just to the partition table.
Before you can use the file systems you must format them (not low-level: this refers to initialising all the sectors on the disk that has not been needed since the very early days) either using a command line like "mkfs" (or its alternatives mkfs.vfat, mkfs.msdos and so on) or using the graphical tools available in your Linux desktop.
