Cfdisk and mkfs are (potentially?) destructive operations; in other words, you will lose the data in the partitions affected by them. Mount is perfectly safe under normal operation.

Well, hmmm..., I'm not sure on what level to answer that. You first partition it (e.g. with cfdisk), then you create a filesystem on the partitions (mkfs.ext3) and use the "mount" program to mount the partition. Sata drives will usually appear as SCSI drives, so their name will be like /dev/sda, /dev/sdb instead of /dev/hda, /dev/hdb.

mounting a SATA drive
Hello! I have installed the system on a IDE harddisk. I wondered how to mount a SATA harddisk. I use a Asrock K8 Combo-Z motherboard, i think the driver is ALI153X or similar...
