Firstly, thanks everyone for helpng me out here. I know now not to try to mount the disk before formatting it.
Still having trouble. In yast, I select /dev/evms/sdb and _create_ it then pop ups with a window saying "Create a Primary Partition on /dev/sda". I can't get it to to say /dev/sdb. Ordinarilly I would have used fdisk, as I'm quite comfortable with its non-expert mode. fdisk /dev/sdb gives me "Unable to read /dev/sdb".
