You'll probably want to create a single partition, and format it as ''ext3''.<br/>
Note that Windows can't read ext3 partitions, so if you want to read your disk on Windows, you should format as NTFS instea, and you should do that on Windows before you connect the drive in your HDA.<br/>
Remember that using NTFS partitions on Linux will be slower that using ext3 partitions, so you should only use NTFS if you really need it.<br/>How much slower: compare the blue bars (NTFS-3G) with the red bars (ext3) on [http://www.tuxera.com/products/tuxera-ntfs-commercial/performance/ this graph].
There are many easy to follow guides online on how to use GParted. You should Google for one, to find one that seems clear to you.<br/>
