The first thing to do is look at ``dmesg'' output to see if it's being recognized. Do this after turning the drive off for 20 seconds or so, then turning it back on. You should see something talking about sbpxxx and /dev/sd[abcd] (pseudo scsi devices). After you see that, ``fdisk -l /dev/sd[abcd]'' on the appropriate device will probably show you a FAT file system. You will probably want do delete that partition, then add a Linux partition, then finally make an appropriate file system using mkreiserfs or whatever you prefer.
