You can probably find all the information you need
if you would seach
Google <Linux>.
You have the Slackware guide already posted. The
only thing I would add/change is use cfdisk rather
than fdisk. Why? Lot's of reasons, this in particular:

mingdao@james:~$ man fdisk
BUGS
There are several *fdisk programs around. Each has its problems and strengths. Try them
in the order cfdisk, fdisk, sfdisk. (Indeed, cfdisk is a beautiful program that has strict
requirements on the partition tables it accepts, and produces high quality partition
tables. Use it if you can. fdisk is a buggy program that does fuzzy things - usually it
happens to produce reasonable results. Its single advantage is that it has some support for
BSD disk labels and other non-DOS partition tables. Avoid it if you can. sfdisk is for
hackers only - the user interface is terrible, but it is more correct than fdisk and more
powerful than both fdisk and cfdisk. Moreover, it can be used noninteractively.)

To partition the SATA drive you'll need to issue
# cfdisk /dev/sda
rather than cfdisk without a drive specified. With
the 2.4.29 kernel of Slack-10.1 you should have
no problems.
