Okay Step by step
1) dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdb bs=1024 count=1024
2) cfdisk /dev/hdb (create and write new partition table one primary partition)
3) mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdb1 (this one you missed)
4) mount -text3 /dev/hdb1 /c
Cheers!

Better
..but this is still bad advice. Let's see what Drew says.

No... not bad advice.
Give us YOUR advice then.

Re: No... not bad advice.
It's not wrong, it's uncommented, making it bad.
It's like an obession among admins. Say nothing to the proles.

No, the *first* one was bad for that reason
He assumed I'd know the step I missed. I didn't. But since setting up new disks is something I have to do rarely, and expect to do very few times in the future, I really don't have any desire to absorb the lore. A real sysadmin knew what I wanted (a working filesystem[*]) and told me the steps to do it. It's all magic incantations at some level. This is one I just needed done.
* Actually, all I cared about is that ever since I tried to put XP on the second disk I haven't been able to boot it without being there to hit Ctrl-D halway into the process. If that goes away, without having to crack the case (again) and unplug the damn drive I'm happy.

No. With Drew I ass-u-me a certain base level.
But, I can see from your comments YOU don;t think of it that way.
He understand what "man foo" does. He understands command line switches. He understands what "shift" will do inside a shell script. Basically he is a very competent user.
I address the level of the user typically, when I am proven to have aimed a bit to high... I aim lower.
And to Address you "undocumented advice" concern.
Watch out. You give advice that isn't documented properly (cumbersomely documented not be be enough) I'll be on you like flies on Shiite.

Looks like that got it
Do I need to modify my fstab to have it mount ext3 instead of ext2?

Nah... but it won't use the journaling of ext3
