Indeed you need to install a filesystem on it.

use mkfs
You should do something along the lines of

Code:

mkfs -t ext3 /dev/hdc

And then add the new partition to /etc/fstab.

The things you should add is:
filesystem mount-point fs-type options dump fsck-order
For example:

Code:

/dev/hdc     /home          ext3      defaults    1       1
